The Key Formula Families In Chinese Medicine
And Their Clinical Application
Prof. Huang Huang 黄煌
translated by Prof. Ding Xiao Hong
Prof. Huang is an engaging teacher, with a rich clinical and research background. Passionate
about classical formulas he will discuss his model of “formula – disease – patient – type”
and its application to common clinical presentations.
Simply, Dr. Huang is an inspiration. He has a wonderful ability to make the complex study of classical formulas accessible. You will learn, how to learn Chinese herbal medicine. Dr. Huang will cover the most important formula families in the classical formula tradition. For each family, he will cover the constitutional type, the common clinical presentation and the main vulnerabilities treated. His family groupings provide an accessible entry point to understanding formulas, that is at the same time very rich and nuanced. The concept of formula family constitutions and their susceptibility to certain disorders, allows a clear understanding of how and when to use these formulas in clinic. The emphasis is clinical, and enriched with case histories and clinical research. Both beginners and experienced herbalists will find Dr. Huang’s presentation of classical formulas fascinating, and clinically applicable. Acupuncturists will find the ideas of constitutional types and how the formulas are constructed a useful avenue for a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine, and ways to use acupuncture. However, the workshop will not cover acupuncture treatments.
Tuesday will be a Master Class on commonly seen women’s disorders and how to choose the appropriate formula for them. Master classes with Dr. Huang are a great insight into how to develop your diagnostic skills, differential diagnosis, and a knowledge of the appropriate use of formulas.
