Academy of Source-Based Medicine

The Academy of Source Based Medicine is a new online education platform offering classes in herbalism, acupuncture, diagnosis and history with an emphasis on providing the deeper historical and textual context of the medicine. Too often we are simply told to accept certain medical principles without any background on where these ideas came from, how they reflect the theories and biases of specific schools of thought, or how they can be seamlessly integrated with diagnosis and treatment. ASBM aims to restore this context to the medicine, while also providing a practical, systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment rooted in the classical traditions of the Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Disease, The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon and the Classic of Difficulties with inspiration from the commentary and innovation of scholar-practitioners of the post-classical era. The academy provides an all-encompassing educational experience that will deeply enrich current students' medical and clinical knowledge and will provide renewed confidence and depth of understanding for those already in practice.
