HERBS IN CONTEXT

This monthly series taught by Dr. Jasmine Rose Oberste examined Chinese herbal medicine in the greater cyclical context in which we live including the Chinese solar-lunar calendar and the cultural, philosophical and historical context from which Chinese medicine developed. Generally in TCM much emphasis is placed on the pathological process. This class emphasized the body in balance, exploring what is healthy physiology.
