Body Type – Chee Hee Seng

Hi, I’m Chee Hee 🌿 Welcome to the page❤️

I’m a Chinese Medicine practitioner from Malaysia, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned through studying and practicing Chinese Medicine is this:

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health.

Two people can have the same symptom, eat the same food, follow the same routine, and respond completely differently.

That’s because our bodies are different.

Over the years, I realised that a lot of people are interested in Chinese Medicine, but the concepts can feel complicated or difficult to apply to everyday life.

That’s why I created my Body Type Course.

I wanted to take what I’ve learned and make it simple, practical, and useful, so you can better understand your own body type, recognise your tendencies, and learn how to care for yourself in a way that suits you.

You don’t need any TCM background. This course is for anyone who simply wants to understand their body better.

Reminder: Chinese medicine is real medicine, not just a casual dietary trend! Blindly trying viral herbal recipes online can easily do more harm than good if you do not understand your own body type.

TCM works through carefully balanced formulas where multiple herbs target your specific patterns together. These include plants, minerals, and even animal-derived ingredients, all classified by traditional energetic temperatures and meridian affinities rather than isolated chemicals.

Because certain herbs can be toxic, restricted, or completely incompatible with each other (like licorice and kelp), they should always be prescribed by a trained professional. What heals one person might cause imbalances in another.

Always consult a practitioner before starting any herbal routine, and drop your TCM questions in the comments! 🌿✨

Chinese medicine should not be treated as an extension of your diet. It iss medicine and should be treated as such. Blindly trying herbs may cause more harm than good. Please ask questions if ever in doubt. I will answer in the comments.

TCM usually combines multiple herbs as formulas in disease treatment. Within each formula, there is a chief herb, deputy herbs, assistant herbs, envoy herbs, and they work together to achieve a common goal. This approach allows the formulas to target multiple aspects of imbalance in a personalized manner.

Most TCM herbs are plant based (licorice, red dates, goji berries), but there are also animal derived ingredients (turtle shells, scorpions, antelope horns are common examples), and minerals (a popular one is Gypsum Fibrosum used in Three Legs Cooling Water for clearing heat) Note: if you have dietary restrictions, make sure to tell your practitioner.

Herbs are not classified like pharmaceutical drugs. They are classified by their traditional functional properties, such as their flavors (sweet, sour, salty, etc), their energetic temperature (cold, warm, neutral), and their meridian affinity (which meridians and organ connections they act on). That’s why, using TCM herbs from the scientific approach (many modern herbal products use the isolated pharmacological properties and extracted biochemical compounds from herbs) is very different from the traditional approach.

There are many poisonous herbs in TCM that are still being used in China due to its effectiveness, but many are banned in other countries. Considering that medicines are known to have side effects and toxicity, they have to be used with caution by trained practitioners. Chinese medicine boards in countries like Australia and US have banned or restricted the use of herbs that are poisonous, unfit for human consumption (some being excrements like Can Sha, Wu Ling Zhi), that contain aristolochic acid (like Fang Ji, Mu Tong, Ma Dou Ling), and that contain ephedrine alkaloids (like Ma Huang). If you’re a practitioner, feel free to share your thoughts with me in the comments regarding this issue.
