These seminar are designed to educate practitioners in differentiating the clinical application of similar Chinese herbal formulae.

This knowledge provides the ability to choose the formula most applicable to the patients’ particular symptoms and constitutional needs. This seminar will provide analytical comparison of different formulae with the same therapeutic effect.
