ICZO Course Muchin Herbal Masterblends

Name: ICZO Course Muchin Herbal Masterblends
Brand: ICZO
Availability: InStock

One full day, thirteen formulas. Anneleen and ShaoMin take them one by one, working from the profile sheet that comes with every Masterblend: the symptom picture, the diagnosis according to TCM, what you see on the tongue and feel in the pulse, the ingredients, the action and the conditions of use.

You also learn to work with the overview table. It exists because practitioners rarely have time to lay thirteen sheets side by side. You start from a few simple parameters and arrive at the formula that fits.

We look at which Masterblends complement each other and are therefore often prescribed together, and at the classical formula each blend descends from. Those adaptations were not made casually. They were made for the body of the Western patient, after two years of clinical refinement in the founders' own practices.

The day opens with the story behind Muchin and with quality control: where the herbs come from, why there is no corn starch, magnesium stearate or maltodextrin in the capsules, and what the FAVV notification with NUT number means for you and your patient.

You do not need prior training in phytotherapy.
