Intro to Chinese Herbal Medicine: Shen-Calming, Orifice-Opening, and Astringent

This webinar is part of Dr. John Chen's "Chinese Herbs for Beginners". In this webinar, John will discuss various herbs with shen-calming, orifice-opening, and astringent properties. These types of herbs are especially useful during this pandemic, as shen-calming herbs are known to calm the mind, emotions, and shen (spirit). Orifice-opening herbs act to dispel any pathogenic blockages in order to restore sensory function and astringent herbs prevent the loss of vital bodily fluids and substances.

Here's what you'll learn:

- Shen-calming/orifice-opening/astringent herbs
- Terminology & description
- Properties
- Effects
- Herbal formulas used for shen-calming, orifice-opening, astringent effect
- How to use the herbs properly to increase potency

Hi Dr. Chen, I have ischemic white matter disease on the right side of my brain. Do you recommend any Chinese herbal formula to help with that. Thank you in advance!
