Session 2: 16th August 2020
Xiao Yao San
The one formula that even non-herbalists know and love, Xiao Yao San is the paragon of soothing and correcting qi glow in the body in general, and through the Liver system specifically. It is particularly effective for disruption of the Liver Spleen axis, and for gently corrective all the various and multitudinous ramifications of Liver Spleen disharmony. In this talk we look at the central role of the Liver Spleen axis in maintenance of the daily harvesting and distribution of functional qi and blood, and how Xiao Yao San and its relatives perform their crucial restorative function.
Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang
A solid understanding of the pathology and scope of blood stasis is crucial to success in many acute, and most chronic, disorders. In this talk we will look at the various grades of blood stasis from subtle to gross, how to recognise them, and how to address them at the correct level. We will look closely at the Zhu Yu group of formulas, as exemplars of the most effective and commonly used strategies for blood stasis
