Course Overview
Dr. Heiner Fruehaufs master class on Chinese herbal medicine deepens the lifelong learner’s mastery of herbal prescribing by rooting their understanding in classical principles and practices. It accommodates the needs and interests of all levels, from students of Chinese medicine and newer practitioners to seasoned practitioners who are ever-refining their capacity to successfully treat any condition presented in the clinic. For each of eight major herb families, Heiner describes the energetic properties of the lead herb, common herb pairs, and the major herbal formulas. Case examples are presented to provide a clinical context for learning the indications for particular formulas within each family. With this base of knowledge, practitioners can stand on firm ground while being flexible in their ability to design herbal treatments that effectively treat the complex patterns manifesting in our increasingly out-of-balance world. In this second session devoted to the Guizhi formula family, Heiner further describes the energetic properties of Guizhi as a chief herb, and provides participants with a working knowledge of the qualities of and indications for the main herb pairings used to achieve specific targeted effects, including those of Guizhi with Mahuang, Shaoyao, Gegen and Fuling.
