About This Course
Course Introduction
Chen Qifeng teaches Lei Gong Traditional Duiyao Herbal Pairing. Both the materials and poster use this course name. Herbal pairing provides the main study thread for discussing traditional herb properties, cold-heat relationships, ascending, descending, floating and sinking, and channel entry, helping learners understand how combination theory is organized.
Study analyzes herbal combinations through the four natures, five flavors, ascending–descending–floating–sinking tendencies, and meridian affiliations, followed by discussion of respiratory, digestive, pain, and other topics. This connects understanding of herbal properties with combination strategies. Herb identification is also covered to clarify the relationship between material selection and theory. Actual medication use still requires professional assessment.
