This lecture is intended for TCM practitioners who have systematically studied single herbal and herbal formulas and who have a certain level of clinical experience. Dr. Yang will omit basic knowledge of herbs and formulas, and proceed directly to their clinical application.
In addition, Chinese patent medicines are convenient to use and are suitable for short-, medium-, and long-term treatment courses.

When the syndrome changes quickly or patient’s condition is unstable, selecting herbs to compose an individualized herbal prescription is more appropriate.
