(200 hours)
Instructors: Joy Walraven and Katherine Chekhter
If you are interested in becoming a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner now is the time to add to your existing repertoire. Join us in exploring the exciting world of Chinese Herbs by taking the first course of our Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Program – Materia Medica!
Course Description: This course of study presents both an exhibition of study of Chinese medicinal herb theory as well as the identification, application and use of individual Chinese medicinal and herbal substances.
Complementing the three main modules of herbal theory covered is a presentation of Chinese herbal and medicinal substances employed clinically in combination with each other. Focus will be on main individual medicinals and additional subsidiary medicinals. This provides a well rounded foundation for the study of herbal formulae as well as a basis for both modified established formulae as well as planning individualized and modified prescriptions.
