Journey Through 2000 Years of Yin-Yang Harmonisation (Tiao He)

In this course Charles Buck outlines a narrative of the greats of the Chinese medicine tradition from beginnings to modern times. To spice things up Charlie focuses on a few key herb prescriptions and the way that these represent Chinese medicine’s harmonisation idea. 
This is not a heavy herbalists course, the narrative should be easily followed by those without a CHM training. The common thread that connects the session is the ancient idea of yin-yang harmonisation (tiao he 调和) and we see how this ideal was achieved in different ways, in different styles and in different formulas.

Course Overview

In this course, Charles Buck outlines a narrative of the greats of the Chinese medicine tradition from beginnings to modern times. To spice things up, Charlie focuses on a few key herb prescriptions and the way that these represent Chinese medicine’s harmonisation idea. 

This is not a heavy herbalists course, the narrative should be easily followed by those without a CHM training. The common thread that connects the session is the ancient idea of yin-yang harmonisation (tiao he 调和) and we see how this ideal was achieved in different ways, in different styles and in different formulas. 

The formulas mentioned are familiar, but each is framed in a way that contextualises and offers fresh insights into the thinking behind them. This helps our sense of engagement with the historical narrative and provides fresh perspectives on our work in the present day.

This course has been recorded on the AACMA Congress and is part of an ongoing collaboration to bring you the best teaching in the world of TCM.
