Workshops, seminars and short courses Herbal Theory:
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine
Mondays from
1:00pm - 5:00pm
Chinese herbal medicine is a highly effective treatment for many chronic diseases. Practicing herbs alongside acupuncture will greatly benefit your clinical outcomes and give you a distinct advantage in the complementary health field. Herbal therapy is essential if you wish to treat internal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, migraine headaches and gynecological conditions, as well as dermatological conditions like psoriasis, eczema and acne. Between office visits for acupuncture or bodywork, herbal treatment can steadily work at restoring your patient to health. The herb theory course introduces the therapeutic categories of the Materia Medica and gives a comprehensive overview of its clinical applications. Representative case studies that illustrate the power of herbs will be presented. Students will be introduced to the classification of herbs according to taste, and the relationship of taste to medicinal action. This will be illustrated by in-class tastings of some of the most famous herbs of TCM. Finally, the herb theory course will begin the process of reviewing the most essential aspect of practice: correct diagnosis and pattern differentiation. This review will be woven throughout the herb program, as we study pattern differentiation in relation to the individual herbs and classical formulas. About the Instructor:
