Scutellaria from the
South of France

12-DAY OR 9-DAY

The 12-Day course delivers a training in Combining Western Herbs and Chinese Medicine. From the fourth day of this course, practitioners can start using single herbs and herb combinations in their clinical practice.

This training is also available as a 9-day course in some countries.

 

COURSE TEXTS

This course contains a wealth of unique new material from Jeremy's books on Combining Western Herbs & Chinese Medicine, the required texts for the course.


A NEW INTEGRATED SYSTEM

This course combines 2,500 years of Western herbal tradition with traditional Chinese medicine and modern pharmacology research.
• This unique integration provides a new level of understanding that can resolve many of the difficulties and controversies of the past.
• It can give a broader and deeper understanding of the individual herbs, enabling more sophisticated herb combinations that are both safer and more effective.

 

HERBAL ENERGETICS

120 Western herbs are discussed, 50 of them in detail, giving data on temperature, taste, organs entered, Chinese actions, Western actions, and Western uses. There is emphasis on practical details of dose and dispensing, and on considerations of safety.

 

TREATMENT OF DISORDERS

Each disorder is subdivided into Chinese syndromes, and a Western herb combination is given for each of these Chinese syndromes, with modifications, where appropriate. Practitioners can immediately use these combinations in clinical practice.

 

HOW TO CREATE HERB COMBINATIONS

This course is unique in presenting three very different ways of creating Western herb combinations.


HERB TASTING

3 out of 3 for sour!

3 out of 3 for sour!

Herb tasting is an excellent way for practitioners to learn about the energetics of the herbs by direct experience. And it's fun!

Single herbs over 20 different Western herbs are tasted during the 12-day training, and systematic records are kept of tastes, temperature effects, and direction of energy.

Herb combinations over 12 different herb combinations are tasted and tested, so that practitioners can feel the effectiveness of these combinations in their own bodies.
