Editorial Policy

Our content draws from classical TCM texts — including the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), Shanghan Zabing Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases), and other foundational works. We also reference modern authoritative sources such as the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy, the ICD-11 Traditional Medicine Chapter, the WHO International Standard Terminologies for Traditional Medicine, the U.S. NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), and peer-reviewed research indexed in PubMed.

WellTao publishes educational content under its organization name. Health content entries list their references at the end. A source link does not mean every claim on the page has clinical support. Traditional explanations and clinical evidence should be read separately. An organization byline does not indicate an individual medical review.

Content pages display their publication date. A separate "Last updated" date appears when a revision date is recorded. These dates describe publication and editing; they do not certify a clinical review or guarantee that every recommendation reflects the latest evidence.

All content on WellTao is for general wellness and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have a health concern, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.

We strive for accuracy, but if you spot an error or have a suggestion, please reach out via our About page. We review every report and update content where appropriate.
