About This Course

Course Introduction

Shang Family External Therapies, taught by Shang Wencheng, begins with basic TCM external-therapy concepts and introduces topical preparation types and production processes. The materials identify four learning units: pastes, bath preparations, sprays, and tinctures. Learners can first organize the course by preparation type, then explore each unit's ingredients, processes, and application discussions.

All four content areas cover formula knowledge and preparation processes. Organize notes by dosage form, then compare the materials and study priorities. This course is presented separately from Shang Family Qidan Navel Application Method; first understand the difference before choosing a pathway. Preparation and use must meet the relevant professional, quality, and regulatory requirements.
