Classic Formulas for Obstetrics and Gynecology: Accessing the (often miraculous) Power of the Shang Han Lun Recording

Event recorded 4th to 5th November 2023.

Course Outline

This course will view the Shang Han Lun through the lens of obstetrics and gynecology. Through this view you will deconstruct the subtle internal structure of the Shang Han Lun/Jin Gui Yao Lue. By understanding the scaffolding that organizes the text, the entire architecture of it becomes available to the practitioner. Students will not only learn some clinically effective ways to work with issues in gynecology, they will also leave with a way of looking at the text that will open up other possibilities for treatment in internal medicine.

During this course you will learn to skillfully apply some commonly used formulas in new ways as well as how to apply some here-to-for obscure formulas that are unsurpassed in their value for women.
