Shang Han Lun Series – The Energetics of the Five Flavors and Canonical Formulas (Webinar)

ICEAM Brisbane 23 Victoria St., Clayfield, Queensland, Australia

Webinar details: Dates: August 11-13th 2023 (Friday to Sunday) Tinmes: 4pm - 8.30pm Venue: Live and interactive webinar via Zoom Platform Cost: AUD$770 (includes GST) for early bird discount ends August 4th 2023. Full price AUD$880 Lecturer: Laurie Ayres Description: Chinese herb actions are by no means arbitrary. The actions are rooted in the tastes and nature of the herbs as described in the materia medica classics and as proofed by centuries of clinical application. When herb classics like the Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica recorded these basic qualities; and theoretical classics like the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Canon instructed on their therapeutic indication and application, they came to clinical maturation in medical manuals like the Treatise on Cold Damage. From the architecture of the classical herbal formulas documented in the latter, we can observe how it is consistent with its theoretical predecessors. The contemporary application of Chinese medicinals though, nowadays relies almost exclusively on the allopathic action an herb possesses. These actions may be superficially explained by the herb’s flavor and nature, but in many scenarios, even the best contemporary herbalist cannot explain ‘why’ many an herb does what it does or why a certain herb is applied in the stead […]

The Treatise on Cold Damage shanghan lun and the Essentials of the Golden Cabinet jingui yaolue are considered the ancestral books on formulaic science in Chinese medicine. The books written in Han dynasty (approx. 200 CE) by Zhang Zhongjing are the foundation of Chinese herbal medicine and the first clinical handbooks in the history of human medicine. Canonical herbal medicine is practiced according the rules of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic huangdi neijing, the Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica Classic shennong bencao jing and the Yiyin Decoction Classic yiyin tangye jing. They still function to this day as the foundation of all herbal formulas. It is widely considered that every herbal prescription to date can be traced back to its roots in one of these classics.

Chicago – Tian-Lineage Jingui Yaolue Pulse Diagnosis

ICEAM Chicago 65 E. Wacker Pl., Chicago, IL, United States

Diagnosis in Han-dynasty was primarily done by taking the pulse. Every formula can be identified through one or more pulse patterns presenting in the patient. Though many pulses are mentioned in the Jingui Yaolue, crucial detail is often hidden, and it is as if this knowledge is merely implicitly present, as if it were embedded. Therefore, the Tian Heming Canonical Formula lineage’s main strength and contribution to the field of Chinese medicine to have made this advanced knowledge on pulse diagnosis crystal clear and evident. This knowledge has never been recorded in any book, but was rather transmitted orally from Dr. Tian Heming through Dr. Zeng Rongxiu to Dr. Arnaud Versluys. The latter of which has been teaching this material around the world in more systematized and structured format since a few years. Note regarding the Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue Pulse Seminars: due to the proprietary and complex nature of these seminars, they cannot be registered for individually and can only be taken as part of the total sequence. The pulse seminars are open for individual registration only to Diplomates of Canonical Chinese Medicine already certified by our institute who wish to retake the seminar.

Atlanta – Jingui Yaolue Abdominal Diagnosis Fukushin

ICEAM Atlanta Atlanta, GA, United States

Japanese abdominal diagnosis or Fukushin is the diagnostic art developed in medieval Japan based on the canonical writings by Zhang Zhongjing. Careful inspection of the Shanghan Zabing Lun reveals countless references to abdominal conditions that could only have been diagnosed by actual palpation of the abdomen. The skill however never fully developed in China but flourished in Japan. Fukushin 腹診 refers specifically to the style of abdominal diagnosis developed by Japanese scholars during the Edo period (1603-1867 CE) for the purpose of prescribing the Han dynasty formulas of Zhang Zhongjing. Venue still to be determined!
