About this course
Who can benefit from this course?
This course is suitable for practitioners with a basic understanding of the organ syndromes of Chinese medicine. For example, doctors, acupuncture practitioners, Western herbalists, and Chinese herbalists. No prior training in Western herbs or Chinese herbs is required.
Note: This training is about Western herbs, although a few Chinese herbs are included.
Combining Western Herbs, Chinese Medicine, and Phytopharmacology
Jeremy has developed a new system that successfully integrates three paradigms:
-
Western herbal tradition
-
Chinese medicine
-
Phytopharmacology
This 15-day training provides the foundation for this system, and is the foundation for safe and effective treatment, using Western herbs.
Practical training
The 15-day training emphasizes clinical practice, and participants are encouraged to use the herbs in clinical practice from the second day of the training, and given full details of dose, dispensing and safety.
New system of Diagnosis and Treatment
Jeremy has developed a new practical system for diagnosis and treatment that can be used in both acupuncture and herbal medicine. This system is useful for beginners and advanced users alike. This system makes choice of single herbs and herb combinations quick, easy, and accurate.
4 Imbalances and 5 Organs
The heart of this new system is the concept that all illness can be defined in terms of the 4 main things that go wrong with energy of the body: Deficiency, Stagnation, Disturbance, and Excess. The principles of treatment to correct these Imbalances are tonify, move, calm, and drain respectively.
Differential Questions
There are over 90 different Organ syndromes in Chinese medicine. Jeremy's system simplifies this complexity by organizing these syndromes in terms of the 4 Imbalances. And for each syndrome, 3 Differential Questions are given that distinguish it from similar syndromes. These Differential Questions are easily understood by patients, and make differential diagnosis and herb choice much easier for the practitioner.

Herb Tasting
Herb tasting is an excellent way for practitioners to learn about the energetics of the herbs by direct experience. And it's fun!

single herbs over 20 different Western herbs are tasted during the 15-day training, and systematic records are kept of tastes, temperature effects, and direction of energy
-
herb combinations over 20 different herb combinations are tasted and tested, so that practitioners can feel the effectiveness of these combinations in their own bodies.
Tasting is voluntary
«Das Fachwissen kombiniert mit der Prise englischem Humor von Jeremy Ross, beides ist einfach einmalig. Jeremy ist ein hochqualifizierter Referent. Ich wünschte, er wäre mehr in der Schweiz zu hören.»
— Yvonne K., Participant
«Klare Strukturen. Transparenz und Gliederung des Stoffes. Die Persönlichkeit von Jeremy Ross selber. Er schafft ein echte Auseinandersetzung mit den Teilnehmern und dem Stoff.»
