The weekend will be structured as an interactive tutorial with multiple case histories being used to demonstrate the practical use of CHM in oncology. Participants will also have the chance to write and discuss their own formulae to encourage an active learning process. The emphasis will focus on CHM theory and practice but with reference to modern research findings.
Dr. Andrew Flower has been using CHM to provide supportive treatment for people living with cancer for over 30 years. The lecture will reflect his clinical experience of the potential and also the limitations of CHM in this challenging but incredibly rewarding area of practise.
Who should attend?
The lecture will be suitable for all practising herbal practitioners and students of herbal medicine – whether you have 3 weeks or 30+ years’ experience. We strongly recommend singing up for the full two day course even if you’re unable to attend one of the days – signing up for the full course will provide you with access to the lecture recordings in order to catch up on all of the material.
