Chinese Herbal Medicine in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disorders EN

Having spent time in the Department for Cardiovascular Disorders of the China-Japan Friendship hospital in Beijing in the early 1990s and witnessed first-hand what Chinese medicine is capable of made me develop a special interest in treating what are among the most common pathologies of our age. In this workshop I will teach what I have learned in my own clinic over the last thirty years. I will not, however, teach treatment protocols or hand out ready-to use formulas. Instead, i will help participants think more clearly about heart and cardiovascular physiology and pathology, and use examples from my own practice to demonstrate how that knowledge can help us craft effecive treatments in clinical practice.
