Afterwards, we delve into the key formulas for the family, which features their presentation, diagnostic features, and clinical applications.

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.

“Incredibly helpful"
"Dr. Even is such a gifted teacher and is so incredibly knowledgeable. He opened my eyes to other ways of using Chai Hu — the discussion around Chai hu itself not removing heat but simply opening pathways for heat to be drained was particularly great. Thanks for an amazing course.”
