Classical Chinese Medicine Training
in association with the International Institute of Jing Fang NJCM
(1)

Jing Fang 經方 means classical formulas and is the name given to a set of herbal prescriptions that were composed, mostly from pivotal works like Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (神農本草經) and Shang Han Za Bing Lun (傷寒雜病論), this was the medicine of imperial China from around the time of the Han dynasty, the Golden Age of Chinese Medicine. Shāng Hán Zá Bìng Lùn (傷寒雜病論) Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases, was written by Zhāng Zhòng Jǐng (張仲景) (c. 150-219), and after his death the book disappeared, later to be reconstructed and compiled into two other books: Shang han lun (傷寒論) and Jin gui yao lue fang lun (金匱要略方論). The theoretical and clinical concepts of Jing Fang are the oldest and most authoritative formulation of Chinese medicine, and have been proven highly effective in the clinical practice of internal medicine for nearly two millennia. Only by understanding this highly developed, clinical and scientific system, that is the foundation and core of Chinese herbal medicine, will you be able to understand later formulas and thus be able to use them knowingly in your clinical practice.

Jing Fang Tales 🌿 Herb Edition

🍄‍🟫 Fú Líng 茯苓 & Friends 🌊🤍

Fú líng (Poria) is the sclerotium of the fungus, Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf (family Polyporaceae).

The Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica says that fú líng (Poria) can treat “counterflow qi in the chest and hypochondria, anxiety, fright, palpitations, gripping pain below the heart, cold, heat, vexation and fullness, cough and counterflow, dry mouth and tongue, and can promote urination”.

Sweet and neutral on her own, but never working alone.

From wu ling san to fu ling ze xie tang, these classic pairings show how one herb adapts depending on the company it keeps.

In jing fang, it’s never just about the single herb, it’s about relationships, dynamics, and pattern.

Which fu ling combo do you reach for most? 👇

Happy Valentine’s Day, Jing Fang lovers ❤️

This Valentine’s, we’re keeping things light-hearted because joy is also medicine for the Heart 💖

And what better way to celebrate than with a good date… or two 🍎

Because these dates would never ghost you,
they’ve been showing for over 2000 years … sweet, supportive, and always doing their job 😉

Some say ancient Dà Zǎo were much smaller than the ones we use today,
which just goes to show that even back then, size didn’t matter….
it was always about function⚡️

So pour yourself a cup of Dà Zǎo tea 🍵,
sit with your sweet dates,
and remember that the best relationships are the ones that nourish you, support you,
even when there are a few pits involved,
true dates always stick together 🤍

And for our Jing Fang peeps 👀
Which two classical formulas use the largest amounts of Dà Zǎo?

We are always so grateful to receive testimonials from students 🌱
Because they remind us why this work matters, and why Jing Fang is taught the way it is.

This reflection comes from a student who has just completed the first theoretical year of the Jing Fang course, and already feels more confident choosing herbal formulas, with a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine as a whole. Hearing that the teaching, support, and clarity are landing means everything to us 🙏

✨ Exciting news! Registration is now open ✨

Following the great success of our first clinical internship in China, we are delighted to be offering this opportunity again!

🇨🇳The initial internship brought together a long-established learning community shaped by years of shared study and clinical practice. It included students at a wide range of stages in their learning journey, some studying with Tino since he first began teaching, alongside others who joined the path at different points up to a just a few years ago.

Coming together in China for advanced clinical training marked a meaningful point of connection and deepening for a community that has continued to grow steadily over time.

For this upcoming internship, we’ve made several thoughtful refinements to the 2024 schedule, adapting it to better support students and to make the experience even more immersive, enjoyable, and clinically impactful.

We’re especially excited to welcome not only returning students, but also many new practitioners who have joined us in recent years, as interest in Jing Fang continues to grow and deepen worldwide 🌱

We truly hope you’ll join us on this journey, to learn, to connect, and to experience Jing Fang at its roots in China 🇨🇳

Limited to only 35 participants!

Comment “Nanjing” and we’ll send you all the crispy details 🔥✨
