Our story

These cards began in 2009, when Dr. Shelly Denny was a student looking for a way to remember the wealth of information in Chinese materia medica. What started as a personal study tool grew into a system she is delighted to share with students, practitioners, and lifelong learners.

Her hope is to help Chinese medicine flourish in the West by making its study more approachable, memorable, and inspiring. It is a medicine too important—and too powerful—to leave behind.
