Our courses
We offer two learning streams to enable students to learn Jing Fang Classical Herbalism.
The first is a qualification programme that takes you through the principles of the Jing Fang approach and leads to a licenciate in classical Chinese medicine. This programme can be followed flexibly, but usually takes 2 years. It has achieved Stage 2 of the EHTPA accreditation process.
The second offers herbalists the chance to experience aspects of Jing Fang as CPD in a flexible way suitable for you.
Jing Fang Qualification
Our training in Jing Fang Classical Herbalism is in the lineage of Dr Feng Shi-Lun and Dr Hu Xi-Shu. It offers online lectures, clinical supervision, online clinicals in real time, and in-person clinicals. It leads to a licenciate in Classical Chinese Herbalism, and offers students a solid grounding in Chinese herbal medicine.
Jing Fang CPD
Qualified herbalists can add Jing Fang Classical herbalism to their portfolio through accessing our materials in a way suitable to each person. The audio lectures provide a complete Jing Fang learning package, with the option to join our online and in-person clinicals, and to arrange personal supervision as needed
Testimonials from patients, students and graduates
It is such a privilege to be studying the Jing Fang Apprenticeship with Frances Turner, and I cannot wait to incorporate this incredible system into my practice to help patients.
I have been very lucky to meet Frances Turner and study the Jing Fang tradition you have shared all over the world. It’s a truly wonderful medicine, which I absolutely love to continue learning and practicing. So many have benefited from these teachings.
It has been the most remarkable and fulfilling educational experience I have ever had, because the learning is done through observing real patients and seeing how Frances diagnoses and treats them. Every week I’m there, I learn something new whether it is about herbs or formulas or syndromes. And being at the clinic is always hugely interesting. Doing Frances’s course and learning the Jing Fang pattern diagnosis has changed the way I treat my own patients as an acupuncturist.
Jing fang has given me a way of understanding herbal medicine that is both profound and effective. For that I am eternally grateful!
The Jing Fang introductory lectures are extremely useful. The information is explained in a very clear and structured manner, with case studies that illustrate all the different formula patterns. The audio is a bonus. These lectures provide a very solid base that complement the practical side of the apprenticeship and help consolidate your learning.
