 So a key part of classical or traditional Chinese medicine is herbal formulas. In fact, most of my mentors suggest that herbs are the powerhouse of the results people get from Chinese medicine. It's kind of interesting that over 90% of practitioners in the US don't even use herbs. But traditionally, or classically, historically, these herbs were taken as formulas. Now the formulas were often prepared in decoctions, meaning the bulk herbs were boiled and then reduced and then taken in multiple dosages per day. Or they're taken in granules, which is a certain form of prepared powdered herb that is then mixed into hot liquid and drank multiple times per day. Now there are other formats as well, like being taken in tea pills, powdered externally into wounds like Yunnan Bayal. But in this video, I want to share the process we use for making herbal decoctions. Now I've personally taken herbal decoctions for years, both as granules as well as stovetop. In this video, I'm going to share how to make them with stovetop. So I hope that helps. It's kind of fun to actually practice with the Chinese herbs. You actually get to smell them, taste them, learn a little bit about their properties and how they work.
