I rewrote paragraph 5 of my review so it would be abundantly clear that I was

not

suggesting one could learn to practice herbology solely from studying a CD.

that was

hardly my intent. revision follows:

 

The self-study course is set up as a series of lesson plans designed to

supplement formal

training or be used as a study aid, though the various databases included in it

may be

used in numerous ways. The lesson plans follow the same sequence as Rocky

Mountain

Herbal Institute's (RMHI) more extensive two-year training program. The CD

includes the

entire two volume TCHS course materials that are used in the RMHI program.

Volume 1:

The Language and Patterns of Life and Volume 2: Herbs, Strategies, and Case

Studies,

materia medica, case examples. Both html and PDF versions are included. This

comprehensive residential course covers all the foundations necessary to

practice Chinese

Herbology: Basic theory, materia medica, syndromes, formulas, treatment of

complex

cases. It also cover topics of considerable importance, such as diet and

environmental

toxins. The 2 year RMHI course also includes a lengthy clinical internship. The

TCHS self-

study course is not meant to replace such formal training or apprenticeship and,

by itself,

only lays a foundation for deeper study. In order to effectively apply this

material,

supervised clinical training is essential.
