Course Overview
This course looks at basic pharmacology principles including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a fascinating exploration. These concepts are explicitly applied to Chinese medicine and herbology. This is a foundation for understanding how pharmaceuticals and Chinese herbs move through and work on the human body. We will be emphasizing the ADME scheme and setting the stage for a discussion of predicting drug-herb interactions.

    Summary

    What People Are Saying

    Thorough course that goes into the details of pharmacology in a way that's helpful for acupuncturists generally focused on their patients' safety and experience (how to dose and time herbs properly when patients are on medications in a way that's supported by science and considers compliance, etc) and for me personally as I expand my practice from acupuncture and herbs into Western medicine. Presents a lot of detailed information clearly without dumbing it down. Dr. Sperber is engaging, very knowledgeable, and makes the time fly! He explained complex concepts so that it jogged memory from basic sciences and pharmacology classes and then went deeper. This is the kind of class that should be required for a practicing herbalist.
