DIPLOMA IN CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE


 

Herbalism Training Details


Our professionally accredited Chinese Herbal Medicine training is available to all Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine senior students and graduates to complement their knowledge of acupuncture.

In order to address the changes in prescribing herbal formulas under the European Herbal Directive we have structured a post graduate training programme for acupuncturists to address the requirements of the Herbal Directive.

Students will be taught properties of different herbs, their indications and contra indications, the clinical use of each individual herbs and their place within classical formula. Students will be taught to work with and use herbs in raw, natural, and powdered formats. Herbal clinical studies are a strong aspect of the post graduate herbal programmes.

Additionally students study herbal and product safety, toxicity, national regulation, ethical practice and participate in herbal clinics. The herbal medicine lectures consists of Practical studies, Clinics, eLearning and online module support. Pharmacology and Pharmacognacy module is completed at Bristol University. Herbal practice and pharmacy continues in intensive hospital herbal clinics at our partner university, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine (NJUCM) in China.
