OCM 534 - Shang Han Lun

Credit(s): 2

The Shang Han Lun (“Treatise on Cold Damage”), written by Zhang Zhong-Jing during the Han dynasty, is considered the seminal text of Chinese herbal medicine, and its revolutionary theories and formulas continue to
inform clinical practice to this day. Students will study the theories and formulas of the Shang Han Lun within their original context for the treatment of conditions affecting the “six warps (or six stages)” arising from “cold damage,” and learn how these formulas and theories can be extended more broadly to other types of theoretical/clinical situations.
