About This Course
Course Introduction
Gudao Tianyuan Traditional Herbal Formulas is taught by Instructor Chen Qifeng. Combining Daoist medical traditions, experience-based formulas, and cases of common concerns, it covers Santong Decoction, concentrated herbal pastes, shingles, infertility, adjunctive tumor-care approaches, blood glucose, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular concerns, and gastrointestinal issues. Rather than simply listing folk formulas, the course explains regulation through opening the intestines, promoting qi and blood flow, and opening meridians. It connects experience-based formulas with common constitutions, chronic conditions, and suboptimal health states to create a clearer learning pathway.

Learning Experiences
Student Feedback
The course showed me that traditional experience-based formulas should not be used indiscriminately. The instructor explains their underlying regulation principles and intended applications.
Santong Tang, herbal pastes, and cases of common concerns are useful to organize into notes for later review.
The content is practical and accessible, suitable for people with some TCM background who want to broaden their thinking.
