Liver imbalances are central to most chronic conditions involving fatigue, poor digestion and menstrual disorders. By focusing on the twelve liver patterns, we will offer effective treatments using Chinese herbal medicine. In this course you will learn about these chronic conditions as well as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, esophageal reflux, depression, and support during chemotherapy.
Through a review of classical prescriptions, modern Chinese hospital formulas, and recommendations of some master herbalists, you will gain confidence in treating liver imbalances and disorders with Chinese herbal products, customized formulas, and specialized applications of individual herbal ingredients.
This course is for practitioners with a strong background in Chinese materia medica and formulas. Emphasis will be on practical clinical application and management.

Reviews from “Essential Chinese Herbal Products”:
“Jake’s classes are great for both the novice and the more seasoned practitioner of Oriental medicine. He gives in depth explanations for various herbal combinations in selected patent medicines (Chinese and American). More importantly, he shares his knowledge and experience in using both traditional patent medicines and in using the newer Chinese hospital-based formulas. I’m glad that I didn’t miss taking his class. It was excellent.”

“This was by far the most clinically useful post-graduate course I have taken. My diagnosing, treatment, and clinical herbal skills have improved significantly from the material I learned in this class.”
