Institute of Chinese Herbology - advice?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm a western MD who now almost exclusively uses acupuncture

(studied at Nanjing Uni of TCM) in my practice in the Philippines. I

am looking for online courses I could take to improve my herbology

skills and came across the Institute of Chinese Herbology (http://ich-

herbschool.com/)

 

I was hoping to ask if anyone has had experiences with them and would

like to share their comments. Also, if anyone can recommend other

courses for me, it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dr Tan,

Nice to know you're on board.

I'm a Registered Nurse 40+ years experience, a massage therapist for 18 years,

acupuncturist 6+ years.

I find Dr. John Chen's books very helpful. It clarifies the TCM VS. WM

application.

Take care.

learning herbal program, with Bob Flaws.

Very well explained and worth every penny.

Gabriel:

 

These are CEU courses, right. Don't you have to attend a formal college

herb program to sit for the exam in CA and FL?

Hi Anne, these are CEU courses, but the original

question was on improving herbal knowledge not sitting

for the CA exam. In my honest Opinion, these online

courses offered by Bluepoppy and the Chinese herb

academy are sometimes better than the actual didactic

courses offered at many TCM schools in the states or

in some other countries for what I hear.

There is no requirement of any board exam or licence to practice herbalism.

Taking the board exam gives you more intials after your name. Herbs I understand

are a normal part of the CA exam...which I think is great.

Anne states,

" These are CEU courses, right. Don't you have to attend a formal college herb

program to sit for the exam in CA and FL? "

 

Actually Anne these are ceu courses or info if not interested in getting ceu for

them. As for the second part of what you asked above. There are provisions for

both the CA and NCCAOM to allow for apprenticeship study but herbs must be part

of the curricula. I have seen that some people in CA have done this and passed

the CA exam. For CA, you must have an approved plan before you start and

includes objectives, material, etc. In the end, you still have to be in study

for about the same amount of time and you have no degree. I kind of like the

idea of having a formal educational background and lots of opinions to discuss

cases with as opposed to just one mindset.Mike W. Bowser, L Ac
