Classical Strategies for Effective Herbal Formulation, Part 1: Guizhi Family - Course 3

Course Overview

Dr. Heiner Fruehauf's master class on Chinese herbal medicine deepens the lifelong learner’s mastery of herbal prescribing by rooting their understanding in classical principles and practices. It accommodates the needs and interest of all levels, from students of Chinese medicine and newer practitioners to seasoned practitioners who are ever-refining their capacity to successfully treat any condition presented in the clinic.

For each of eight major herb families, Heiner describes the energetic properties of the lead herb, common herb pairs, and the major herbal formulas. Case examples are presented to provide a clinical context for learning the indications for particular formulas within each family. With this base of knowledge, practitioners can stand on firm ground while being flexible in their ability to design herbal treatments that effectively treat the complex patterns manifesting in our increasingly out-of-balance world.

In this third Guizhi session, Heiner includes formulas made with the common pairings of Guizhi with Shaoyao, Fuling, and Taoren. He provides clinical insights into the associated formulas that address internal syndromes, including a discussion of the therapeutic actions, indications, and clinical applications of Xiao Jianzhong Tang, Guizhi Jia Longgu Muli Tang, Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Tang, Wuling San and Guizhi Fuling Wan. Case studies are used to explain how to modify/combine formulas to address specific presenting patterns.
