Jing Fang CPD

The Lecture Series

Our Jing Fang Lecture Series is a complete introduction to the Jing Fang classical herbal medicine system.

Written and presented by Frances Turner, the Series is a systematic A-Z presentation of the fundamentals of Jing Fang.

It aims to give herbalists a foundational understanding of Classical Herbalism, based on the Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue, in the tradition of Dr Hu Xi-Shu and Dr Feng Shi Lun.

The Jing Fang Lecture Series will provide practitioners with:

  • An understanding of the Jing Fang system and of Six Syndrome pattern differentiation
  • Information of classically used herbs (category, temperature, taste, and actions)
  • An understanding of how to combine herbs to create herb pairs with unique properties
  • Detailed information of classical formulas and their actions, as well as an understanding of how they are used along side Six Syndrome diagnosis
  • Key formula modifications that are commonly used in clinic
  • Many case studies from Dr Feng and from the School of Classical Chinese Herbalism
  • Over 60 hours of audio lectures with PDF slides

A breakdown of each Part can be seen below.

What Our Students Say:

Frances does a wonderful job of teaching Jing Fang to us in England, online and in person. It has transformed my herbal practice into being more effective, with quicker results, and being more curative.

Vasanthy Watt, Supervisor 2022

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.

Naoko Taoka, Graduate 2019

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.

Cristina Lopez-Pasqual, Graduate 2022

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.

Cristina Lopez-Pasqual, Graduate 2022

Your depth of knowledge, as well as your warmth and willingness to share it, have made the last two years the most important and enjoyable of my career to date.

Tom Kennedy, Graduate 2021

It has been the most remarkable and fulfilling educational experience I have ever had.

Suzanne Mounter, Graduate 2020

It has been the single most helpful thing I’ve done for my health – it’s been life changing.

Simone Irmscher, Patient 2022

It has been rewarding and challenging to use this medicine. Every patient is a teacher!

Victoria Conran, Graduate 2019

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.

Suzanne Mounter, Graduate 2020
