CM 576 - Herbs III Practicum

Credit(s): 1.00

Herbs Practicum III rounds out our survey of the dynamic range of single herbs and initiates an exploration of “dui yao”—commonly used combinations of herbs and their clinical applications—according to the 6 Phase energetic model of the Shanghan Lun. As the final portion of the first-year herbs practicum, this course will further combine the clinical synergy of diagnosis and herbal dynamics in order to prepare students for the transition into formula study and composition. It will also continue to familiarize students with other key topics in classical Chinese herbology including the integration of body and spirit in clinical practice, traditional views on dietetics and paozhi methods. Prerequisite(s): These courses are to be taken in the ordered sequence of CM556, CM566, CM576, CM656 and CM666. Note: Additional fee required
