Intro
Welcome to the Formula Review Course!
Hello there! Thanks for coming along as we review herbal formulas!
Here's a brief overview of what's in store so you can get the most out of this course:
👯♂️ Dui Yao Pairs
The course starts with an overview of some common Dui Yao pairs. These are paired herbs, and they form a nice bridge between single herbs and herbal formulas. The Dui Yao video is actually just a copy of a video that was on the YouTube channel, but it goes over many of the herbal pairs that will show up in our formulas. Honestly, if you're in a hurry, it might be ok to skip this part since we'll be covering the pairs as we go through the formulas.
📄 Handouts...
The formula categories are divided into three parts (just because that's how we did it when I was in school). At the beginning of each of these three sections, there's a handout you can download. This is basically a large table summarizing all of the formulas in the section. If you like, you can use that handout to follow along with the videos.
📼 Videos...
Each category has a video lecture going over the basics of that category (like diagnosis and treatment strategies) and then each formula in that category.
Keep in mind that some of these videos are a work in progress. The first couple sections have well-edited, polished videos, but the later sections are just recordings of live webinars. This wasn't ideal for me, but it turns out that making high-quality videos takes a long time, and I wanted to get the information out as soon as possible so people could get started. I'll be continuously updating the videos over the next few months to make everything look nice.
🔉 Audio Downloads...
For each video, I stripped out the audio and made that as a separate download. That way if you're in your car or at the gym and you just want to listen, you can do that without having to have a video player open.
📚 More Info...
For some categories, I put links to additional information at the bottom. This may be a review of the single herb category associated with that formula categories, or it may be videos that go into more depth on a certain formula. But if you want to go deeper into review, make sure you check out the bottom of each page to see if there's something more.
🌿 Daily Herb Facts...
To help with studying, I also made a Daily Herb Facts newsletter. This will automatically send you an email very day with a short herb fact. The idea is to have small little snippets you can snack on each day. That way, even if you don't feel like studying, you will still learn something that will help you on your test.
These daily facts are based on trending topics and common things that tend to come up on tests. You should have gotten an invitation when you first joined the course, but if you didn't you can sign up here:
