What this is — and what it is not

I would rather you decide with clear eyes than be surprised afterwards. This page says plainly what the service is, what it is not, and what actually lands in your inbox. If anything is unclear, email hi@ai5ai.cc and ask before you order.

1. What you actually get

• A reading in everyday words of what your tongue photo shows — described, never turned into a medical conclusion.
• A 7-day direction: a small list of changes for food, sleep, drink, movement and warmth, each with how often and how long. Nothing to buy, nothing to sign up for.
• Three things to track during the week — simple, countable, so you can tell whether anything is shifting.
• One document, sent by email, that stays yours. Print it, keep it, come back to it in three months and compare.

2. What this is not

• Not a medical opinion. I do not tell you what condition you have, and I do not name diseases.
• Not a medical opinion, and not a treatment plan. Nothing here replaces an examination, a test, or your doctor's judgement.
• No prescriptions. I do not give herbs, formulas, supplements or doses — not even a small one.
• Not emergency care. If something is sudden, severe, or getting worse, contact your doctor or local emergency services instead of using this service.

3. What a photo can show, and what it cannot

A clear photo of your tongue shows a limited set of things — and it is worth being honest about the limits:

• What it can show: the coating, the colour, the shape, marks on the surface, and the area under the tongue.
• What it cannot show: anything inside your body, your blood work, your history, or anything a doctor would examine in person.

So every observation here is a starting point for your own attention, never a conclusion. A tongue looks different at different hours and in different weeks; what matters is the direction over time, not one snapshot.

4. When to see a doctor instead

Please do not use this service as your first stop if any of these apply — speak to a doctor or your local health service:

• something is severe, sudden, or getting worse rather than settling;
• symptoms that keep returning, or that you have had for a long time without a proper check;
• unexplained weight change, bleeding, chest pain or breathlessness;
• you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or asking about a child;
• you take regular medication, or a doctor has already told you what you have and you are managing it.

5. Your photo and your answers

Your photo and answers are used for one thing only: preparing your guide. They are not posted anywhere, not shared, and not sold. You can ask for them to be deleted at any time by email, and I will confirm when it is done. The full detail is on the Privacy page.

6. Who writes your guide

I am Chen Miaozhong (Zhongyang), one person, not a clinic. I have worked in the health field for more than 20 years, and I have studied traditional wellness practice for 19 years. I hold a Guangdong Province junior professional qualification as a pharmacy technician (Guangdong Provincial Department of Personnel, 2004).

I am not a doctor, and I do not give medical opinions. This is what I have spent two decades learning to read, and the guide is written the way I would explain it to a friend.

7. If you are unsure

Email hi@ai5ai.cc with your question before paying. If your situation is better served by a doctor, I would rather tell you that than take your money. Refund terms, delivery times and dispute options are on the Refund page; the rules of the service are in the Terms.
