Forum Description
This is a free public forum for practitioners and serious students of Chinese medicine who are interested in the age-old process of integrating non-Chinese herbs into the Chinese materia medica. Based on historical data and study of modern materia medica, we can see that China has always sought to bring new herbs into the fold of Chinese medicine. For over 30 years, Thomas has promoted this idea with his two books Western Herbs According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (2008) and Western Herbs in Chinese Medicine (2014) and many classes over the years. But this is the work of many and even generations. So, this forum is meant to bring together practitioners and serious students of Chinese medicine to discuss our findings, debate ideas, and generally dive deeply into what shapes the work and how we can, collectively, move it forward.
