Herbal Energetics
Content
This foundational course is open to anyone and will cover the essentials of flavor, nature, part of the plant used, class of herb, dosing and preparation in determining therapeutic effects. Drawing heavily on the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing as well as Han Dynasty understandings of five element interactions, practitioners will leave with a much clearer clinical understanding of herb selection, relative dosing, and herbal combinations. By highlighting representative herbs in each element, students will begin developing relationships with their own guiding herbs and personal pharmcopoeia. This class will also prepare students for forthcoming courses on herbs and formulas for each of the complement channels.
Audience
This course is for practitioners who are:
wanting satisfying answers to their lingering questions about Chinese medicine
seeking a more sophisticated understanding of Chinese medical theory and treatment
struggling to implement complement channel theory into practice
reaching the limits of their ability to deal with chronic, challenging cases
Format
The herbal medicine module will be offered in six classes spread over 3 weekends. There will be 2 classes per weekend. Each class will be 3.5 hours long. The course must be taken as a whole and will offer 20 distance continuing education credits. Classes can be taken live or via recorded videos.
Distance learning can be done anytime.
