Course Description

  • The historical usage of the herbs 
  • Body type/constitution
  • Presentation and constitutional tendencies
  • Key tongue and pulse findings
  • Abdomen and other key diagnostic features


Afterwards, we delve into the key formulas for the family, which features their presentation, diagnostic features, and clinical applications. Case histories are used throughout illustrating their usage in the modern clinic. In keeping with the premise that these classes are based not only on clinical experience but also on actual textual research, all relevant lines from the Shānghán Zábìng Lùn 傷寒雜病論 are highlighted and covered, with discussions on key symptoms, signs, physiology, pathology, herbal flavours and dynamics, complex terminology, etc. 

In addition, various theoretical concepts are introduced and discussed with relevant passages provided from other canonical works such as the Huángdì Nèijīng 黃帝內經, Nánjīng 難經, Shénnóng Běncǎo Jīng 神農本草經, as well as various commentaries from the last 1800 years.  The objective of this class is to provide a level of confidence to the student in the usage and applications of these important and extremely beneficial formulas.

“Clinical Game Changer!"

"Eran's exploration of the Banxia formula families is truly a clinical game changer. Eran has broadened the scope and use of these beautiful formulas for me, and I am so excited to implement this new understanding into clinic! I could think of so many patients who these formulas would benefit throughout the class. Eran's classes are clear, fun, enthusiastic, and clinically relevant with a ton of clinical and historical gems sprinkled throughout. I cannot recommend them more!” Kylie Rodger

“Ban xia formula family"

"This course exposed, and filled a large hole in my understanding of ban xia and how to use it. Throughout the class I was constantly reminded of patients in clinic that totally fit these presentations that I couldn't quite figure out confidently in practice. An absolutely priceless class! Cannot wait for the next ones! Thanks Eran for sharing this information in such a relevant and digestible way!"” Bob Malecki

“Another incredibly helpful class!"

"Ban Xia formulas have always been a part of my practice, but Eran's detail oriented classes really help me to tease out when these formulas are most appropriate. Very grateful!” Kiki Colgan
