“When I was a student at the Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we only studied 70-80 formulas in our fang ji xue class. If one really learns and understands this core repertoire of formulas along with how to modify them for individual needs, one can treat the vast majority of cases. Beginners typically spread themselves too thin, trying to learn too much, yet what they learn is not really deep or well-integrated. In my experience, it is much better to learn a few things really well than to try to be encyclopedic but really having mastered nothing. In actual fact, I treat 85-90% of my patients with modifications of six or seven well-known formulas.”

–Dr. Bob Flaws
