Good herbal advice starts with good observation. Before any formula comes the pattern: the cluster of signals in energy, sleep, digestion, breath, cycle, movement and mood that tells you what the body is asking for. This course trains that eye.

In two parts and thirteen modules, Anneleen Six and ShaoMin Xue walk you through every Herbal Masterblend, one pattern at a time. For each one you learn the picture to look for, the traditional formulas the blend is derived from, the questions that confirm or rule the pattern out, and the lifestyle advice that belongs alongside it. Real cases from both practices bring the theory to life.

Part 1, with Anneleen Six, covers the six patterns practitioners meet almost daily: tension and restlessness, disturbed sleep, depleted energy, and the three digestive pictures. Part 2, with ShaoMin Xue, covers the seven patterns around the seasons, the airways, joints and movement, the female cycle and healthy ageing.

The course is designed for TCM therapists, acupuncturists, doctors, pharmacists, orthomolecular and kPNI therapists and other health practitioners who want to work with Chinese herbal formulas in a safe, structured way. After the course you are ready to join the Muchin practitioner community and to advise the Herbal Masterblends in your own practice.
