Chinese Herbs for Collective Liberation.
Herbs for the People.
This sliding-scale herbal intensive is designed specifically for communities impacted by structural oppression. Covering the 83 essential formulas in the California Acupuncture Licensure Exam, this course mends a tapestry of ancestral wisdom that colonialism severs and racial capitalism commodifies.
Why this course?
We live in health inequity, and this course is a direct intervention to break down systemic barriers in healing education. By open-sourcing ancestral knowledge, we prevent gatekeeping and return this wisdom to the communities it belongs to.
Studying herbal formulas is an integrative approach that weaves together Chinese medical theory, single herb actions and properties, biomedical indications, and meridians.
