OUR STORY

Created by Dr. Shelly Denny.
Beginning in 2009.

Dr. Shelly Denny began creating these cards as a Chinese medicine student in 2009, developing a visual study system to help her retain the materia medica. Today, she shares that work with students, practitioners, and lifelong learners to help Chinese medicine flourish in the West.

It is a medicine too important—and too powerful—to leave behind.
