🌿 How do you actually learn to prescribe herbs?

Not by memorising hundreds of herbs from day one.

The process is much more structured:

🟢 Identify the pattern. Start with the Chinese medicine diagnosis.
🟢 Match the formula. Learn the classic formulas linked to each pattern.
🟢 Apply it in practice. See how those formulas map onto the presentations you encounter in clinic.

💡 You don't need to learn everything at once. You just need a clear place to start.

💡 One of the biggest misconceptions about herbal medicine?

That it's a completely different skill.

In reality, the hardest part isn't learning formulas.

It's learning how to think in patterns.

And if you're already practising acupuncture, you're doing that every day.

🌿 That's why many acupuncturists discover they're much closer to herbal prescribing than they realise.

📅 The next Herbal Prescriber Course begins on 20th February 2027.

🌿 Different tools.

💡 Same clinical thinking.

One of the biggest misconceptions about herbal medicine is that it requires learning an entirely new system.

In reality, it starts in the same place acupuncture does:

🌿 One of the most useful questions to ask in clinic:

What’s stopping this patient from holding progress?

Not every plateau means your treatment isn’t working. Sometimes, patients are improving — they’re just not holding those gains between appointments.

That’s often where herbal medicine can add another layer of support, helping to bridge the gap between sessions.

📅 Our next Herbal Prescriber Course starts on 20th February 2027, and enrolment is now open.

The 80% Plateau

Most acupuncturists have seen it.

The treatment works. Progress happens. But the case never quite gets over the finish line.

It can look like this:

🟢 The fatigue patient whose energy improves, but never fully returns.
🟢 The migraine patient who feels great, until they regress days before their next session.
🟢 The IBS patient who responds well, until life becomes slightly stressful again.

The issue is rarely your diagnosis or your needle technique. More often, the patient simply struggles to hold progress between treatments.

💡 Recognising when a case needs more than needles is an important stage in clinical development.

It's also one of the reasons many acupuncturists eventually explore herbal medicine.
