| Description | This unit deepens the student’s knowledge and understanding of TCM herbal formulae begun earlier in CHM203 Chinese Herbal Medicine and Formulae 2. In this unit and CHM203, a minimum of 120 commonly used medicinal formulae are studied with a view to their consolidation in practice. Students study different herbal formulae classifications, constructions, applications, cautions and contraindications, methods of Chinese herbal formulae preparation, and administration instructions to clients. An integral part of the study of herbal formulae is the knowledge of the practice of formula construction and modification, the hierarchy of constituents within formulae and their functions. Additionally, the study of this unit aims to inform the student’s practice and consolidate their awareness of restricted and scheduled herbs in the application of formulae including the management of adverse events when necessary and to do so in accordance with TGA, CMBA, and SUSMP guidelines. |
