Description
The practice of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (TCHM) may appear archaic to those who misunderstand the theories and principles that guide it. In fact, TCHM continues to evolve, and new systems are consistently being discovered and applied within the tradition. Nevertheless, the biggest challenge of the great unknown of herb-drug interaction faced by TCM practitioners in the world today remains.
Although modern scientific analyses have been used to examine herbs from a chemical perspective, it is unrealistic to conduct a double-blind study of every drug-herb/formula combination. This class will introduce principles of drug-herb combination according to TCM philosophy.
Select western pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals are described in the tradition of TCM Materia Medica, including flavors, temperature, meridians entered, actions, indications and modifications. Interactions with Chinese herbs are discussed. Principles of Drug-Herb combination and possible interactions are demystified and discussed in details.
Drug induced mortality became a serious thread in modern times, accordingly ability to anticipate and avoid drug-herb interaction is a matter of a paramount importance. This class provides an advance understanding of safe drug-herb compatibility.
