About
Welcome to gancao.net.
I once heard someone in a meeting of Chinese medicine herbalists describe themselves as the gancao of the room. He saw his job in the meeting as we use gancao in formulas – to harmonize and moderate the actions of the others.
I always liked the idea, that someone, or even a website could act as a harmonization and moderation agent among many. Hence, gancao.net was born.
As it turned out, gancao.net is a little bit of everything of interest to a TCM practitioner. There are the hundreds of case studies that have come our way, some stray bits of books that I’ve worked on, some teaching notes and two continuing education courses available.
Also, there’s the research of Dr. Margaret Naeser and her work with laser acupuncture.
More recently, I’ve begun to rant on Twitter. Some of my tweetz have been organized into topics of interest for your reading pleasure.
Welcome to gancao.net, please enjoy your stay.
