How Root & Remedy Works
Ancient Diagnostic Wisdom Meets Modern AI
Traditional Chinese Medicine has refined its diagnostic methods over thousands of years. Root & Remedy brings these time-tested practices to your smartphone with AI-powered analysis that reads the subtle patterns your body displays.
Your Personalized TCM Journey
Step 1: Complete Your Wellness Assessment
Answer thoughtful questions about your:
Sleep patterns and dream quality
Energy levels throughout the day
Digestive health and appetite
Emotional state and stress levels
Menstrual cycles (if applicable)
Body temperature tendencies
Physical sensations and pain
Our questionnaire is modeled after traditional TCM intake forms used by licensed practitioners for centuries.
Step 2: Capture Diagnostic Photos
Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners examine two key areas:
Your Tongue
Color, coating, texture, shape, and moisture all reveal information about your internal organs, fluids, and qi flow.
Your Face
Complexion, puffiness, dryness, and coloring indicate constitutional patterns and current imbalances.
Upload clear photos and our AI analyzes them using established TCM diagnostic principles.

Why Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Unlike reactive approaches that wait for disease, TCM focuses on maintaining balance before symptoms escalate. Using diagnostic methods refined over millennia, TCM identifies subtle patterns that conventional approaches might miss.
Early Warning System
Tongue coating changes, facial puffiness, or sleep disturbances can indicate imbalances weeks or months before they become serious health issues.
Whole-Person Approach
TCM doesn't treat isolated symptoms—it addresses the root pattern causing multiple symptoms simultaneously.
Plant Medicine That Works With Your Body
Unlike synthetic compounds that require liver modification, plant-based remedies work with your body's natural receptors and processes. TCM formulas include natural co-factors and balancing elements that support whole-body harmony.
Personalized, Not Standardized
Two people with headaches might have completely different TCM patterns requiring different approaches. Root & Remedy helps you understand your unique constitution.
