Course Overview
Dr. Heiner Fruehauf's master class on Chinese herbal medicine deepens the lifelong learner's mastery of herbal prescribing by rooting their understanding in classical principles and practices. It accommodates the needs and interests of all levels, from students of Chinese medicine and newer practitioners to seasoned practitioners who are ever-refining their capacity to successfully treat any condition presented in the clinic.

For each of eight major herb families, Heiner describes the energetic properties of the lead herb, common herb pairs, and the major herbal formulas. Case examples are presented to provide a clinical context for learning the indications for particular formulas within each family. With this base of knowledge, practitioners can stand on firm ground while being flexible in their ability to design herbal treatments that effectively treat the complex patterns manifesting in our increasingly out-of-balance world.

In this second session devoted to the Chaihu formula family, Heiner compares some of the main formulas in the Chaihu family, discussing their therapeutic actions, indications, and clinical applications. Covered are Chaihu formulas made with the common herb pairings of Banxia, Guizhi and Gegen. Case studies are used to explain how to modify/combine formulas to address specific presenting patterns.
Objective
  • Discuss the main formulas within the Chaihu family, including the architecture of each formula with dosage considerations.
  • Identify the main Chaihi family formulas that are made when Chaihu is paired with Baishao and/or Gegen. Discuss the therapeutic principles and typical indications for and applications of these formulas.
  • For a given patient presentation, be able to choose the most appropriate formula within the Chaihu family.
  • Be able to suggest modifications to a Chaihu formula and/or formula combinations that achieve the desired therapeutic effect for a specific patient presentation.

    About Heiner Fruehauf

    Heiner Fruehauf is the Founding Professor of the College of Classical Chinese Medicine at National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon, where he has been teaching since 1992. As a practitioner, Dr. Fruehauf focuses on the complementary treatment of difficult and recalcitrant diseases, including cancer, chronic respiratory and digestive disorders, and inflammation of the nervous system. His scholarly endeavors include an ongoing research project on the holistic cosmology of Chinese medicine, in essence a decoding of the ancient symbolism that once correlated the macrocosm of the natural world with the microcosm of the human body. In addition, Dr. Fruehauf founded Classical Pearls Herbal Formulas over a decade ago in order to bring the formulas used in his clinical practice to a more accessible form for clinicians. The endeavor has also allowed him to maintain control over ingredient sourcing, procurement, and processing in mainland China, including supporting small family farms who grow, harvest, and process many of the raw ingredients. Dr. Fruehauf is also the director of the Heron Institute, a nonprofit institution for the research and preservation of traditional life science. In this capacity, he has been leading the Sacred Mountain Retreat for three decades, a semiannual study tour to the mountains of southwest China that focuses on qigong and other aspects of classical Chinese medicine. He lives in the beautiful Columbia Gorge in Oregon with his wife, Sheron, their kids, 5 goats, 2 cats, and 11 chickens.
