Series Overview

Dr. Heiner Fruehauf's 3-part course series 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.

In the Ginseng and Anti-Ginseng course series, Heiner describes the energetic properties of Renshen, and presents common herb pairs, and the major herbal formulas he uses in his clinical practice of over 30 years.

In addition, Course 2 and 3 of this series is focused on considerations for treating Gu Syndrome and other deficiency-based diseases, a mainstay of Heiner's clinical practice. 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.

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 presenting in the clinic.

In the first session, Heiner discusses the clinical concept of Gu Syndrome, and introduces representative anti-Gu formulas. He discusses their historical context, dosages, formula architecture, therapeutic actions, indications, and clinical applications. The focus is on Su He Tang and Jiajian Su He Tang. Case studies and a discussion of Thunder Pearls and Lightening Pearls are used to explain how to create anti-Gu formulas to address specific presenting patterns.
