A New System of Herbal Medicine
Course Overview
“I’m getting close to realizing a dream that started for me 45 years ago, when I first started studying herbal medicine in 1974. It began with showing what makes each herb special, and different from others in the same group. Then I integrated Chinese medicine, describing each Western herb in terms of Chinese organ syndrome that it can treat.
“But I wanted to create a visual system of Herb Diagrams to give a vivid visual impression of what makes each herb unique. To do this, I created the  system of 4 Imbalances and 5 Organs. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is true.
“Then, I integrated phytopharmacology with Western herb tradition and Chinese medicine, so that I could describe the differences between herbs in terms of the differences between their chemical constituents. From there I started designing Research-based Herb Combinations, for modern diseases.”
