Medical disclaimer
This is information, not advice
Everything published on Type & Table is general educational information about traditional Korean medicine, food, and lifestyle. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a treatment plan. It is not tailored to you, because I have not examined you.
No practitioner–patient relationship
Jason Lee, K.M.D. is licensed to practise Korean medicine in the Republic of Korea. Reading this site, subscribing to the newsletter, buying a guide, or sending a message does not make you a patient and does not create a practitioner–patient relationship. No licence to practise is claimed in the United States or in any other jurisdiction.
Talk to your own clinician first
Consult a qualified healthcare professional before acting on anything you read here — particularly if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are managing a diagnosed condition, take prescription medication, or are considering herbs or supplements. Herbs interact with drugs. Some interactions are serious.
If you think you have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number now. Do not delay care because of something you read on this site.
On claims
Statements here have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or by any comparable regulator. Nothing on this site is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Where a practice is described as traditionally used for something, that is a report of tradition, not a claim of proven effect.
Links and products
Some links may be affiliate links, which means a commission may be earned at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never determine what gets recommended. This is stated in full in the editorial policy.
Accuracy and changes
Content is reviewed before publication but medicine moves and mistakes happen. No warranty is given that everything here is complete or current. Corrections are made openly — see the editorial policy. This disclaimer may be updated; the date above shows when it last changed.
