CIVT1003 Getting Started Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine I

This short course is designed to equip you with a thorough understanding of the 20 or so most important formulas in Chinese veterinary herbal medicine. We keep it simple but effective, so you don't have to have a comprehensive understanding of Chinese medicine before you undertake the course. In fact, we build on what you already know by taking a biomedical approach to the herbs. We teach you a core group of herbs that will give you the best results for just a small effort in taking this course. We particularly cover skin disease from a basic Chinese medicine perspective to get you started with those frustrating cases.
