About This Course

Course Introduction

Li Ke's Yang-Supporting Approach is taught by Sun Yunguo. Materials follow yang-supporting medicine and the Shanghan framework, discussing traditional concepts of yang qi, cold and heat, and related classical formulas to explain relationships between theory and different topics.

Study begins with the Shanghan framework and the central ideas of yang-supporting medicine, then discusses formulas by zang-fu system and topic. Further subjects include classical circular-motion theory, integrated use of the four examinations, and traditional herbal properties and combinations. This allows comparison of theoretical frameworks and formula reasoning. Actual medicine use and clinical care require professional guidance.
