| Term Translation Assistance
Many translators have requested assistance with terms not contained
in Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine or English-Chinese Chinese-English
Dictionary of Chinese Medicine. Usually, we are most happy to oblige
and have been greatly assisted in our efforts through the suggestions
of others. Since we like to keep a record of all term equivalents in
our databases, we hope that people requesting assistance will help us
in this respect by providing the following information when communicating
about suggested or currently unavailable terms. In some cases, we will
need the information to effectively research the term. In all cases
we must have the Chinese.

for the transmission of Chinese medicine in the future. There
is no charge for this service and we will do our best to respond in
a timely way.
