讲座介绍：	Chinese herbs and medicine are commonly used in TCM to cure illness. In most cases, they also have been used in our daily lives, knowingly or unknowingly, as a form of healthcare to strengthen our health or alleviate our uncomfortable symptoms encountered in our body such as excessive phlegm, “heatiness”, cough etc. In many cases, some of the herbs and medicine that you have tried may be effective on one occasion; but on another occasion, they are either ineffective or could worsen your symptoms. 4 broad subjects will be covered in this Commonly Used Chinese Herbs and Medicine (Part 1). You will first learn about a simple human physiological model and how a human may fall ill from the perspective of TCM. Then, you will learn about some common theories in relation to the herbs and medicine and their applications. Using this set of knowledge, you can then understand why herbs or medicine that are effective on a particular occasion or a particular person may not necessary be effective on another occasion or another person. After acquiring some foundational theories on herbs and medicine, you will use them to examine some herbs and medicine that can be easily bought in local shops. A trip down to the healing garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens will also be conducted to introduce herbs that can be grown in our local climate. Finally, you will learn how simple herbal decoctions can be formulated by combining herbs and medicine you have learned. By understanding the properties of the herbs and medicine, you will know better what to use, when to use and how to use them in an effective matter. During the course, besides learning the properties of commonly used herbs, you will also have the opportunity to savour some herbal decoctions prepared using these herbs.
