Course Overview

This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on June 9, 2024 - 9pm BST, 10pm CEST, 11pm IDT.

We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb's Herbs podcast. The first covers another Chinese formula, Gan Cao Gan Jiang Fu Ling Bai Zhu Tang (Licorice, Ginger, Poria, and White Atractylodes Decoction). It is in the subcategory of formulas that warm and transform water and dampness.

The second episode covers the Chinese herb jing jie (schizonepeta). Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!.

The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
