About the database

CMD, making the tools of tomorrow available today

The Chinese Medical Database is the largest English-language database of its kind, derived from the work of multiple translators over more than 40 years.

02 Reference

CMD includes a Dictionary section with nearly 7,000 defined terms, a Terms section with 30,000 entries for translators, an Acupoints section covering 400 points, a Medicinals section with 5,000 entries, and Formulas with 2,000 entries.

03 Language learning

CMD provides language study materials, enhanced by internal links from characters to the Terms table and external links to display character stroke order.

04 Strong cross-referencing

CMD provides thousands of links that allow easy cross-referencing between the various sections of the database.
