  • 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 […]
