Intro to Chinese Medicine (Weekend Intensive)

In this two day weekend intensive, we will learn the basic concepts of Chinese medicine and how that can support how we use western herbs.
Topics:
- yin and yang
- excess and deficiency
- the five major organs
- hot, cold, wind and dampness
- western herbs used in this context

Chinese medicine has been transformative for me in terms of getting actual success with herbs and having a complex system of thought through which to see the body and everything really. Because it is a tradition that has thousands of years of unbroken history and records, it is very precise. If you have studied with me before, you may already be sold, and I hope you can join to get a foundation from this highly effective system of thought.

All levels of herbalist are welcome, including people who have lots of experience using western herbs and have been wanting a new perspective on things to enrich your trade.
