Terms of use

Effective August 25, 2026

By using laoxinglin.com you agree to these terms.

Educational content only

Everything on this site is general educational information about traditional Chinese medicine and the research concerning it. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a recommendation to take any preparation. Decisions about your health belong with you and a qualified clinician who knows your situation. Do not start, stop, or change any treatment based on what you read here.

The practitioner directory

When it opens, directory listings will be compiled from public licensing records and practitioner-submitted information. A listing is not an endorsement, a credential check beyond the cited public record, or a guarantee of any outcome; choosing a practitioner remains your responsibility. Practitioners may request correction or removal of their listing at any time via contact.

No warranties

The site is provided "as is." We work to keep content accurate and cited, and we correct errors when they are found, but we make no warranty that the content is complete, current, or error-free, and we accept no liability for loss or harm arising from reliance on it, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Intellectual property

The text, illustrations, and design of this site — including the Lao Xinglin and Xiao Hu characters — belong to the site's operator. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link; do not republish full pages or the illustration set without permission.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the effective date above changes when they are. Continued use after a change is acceptance of the new terms.
