#127 Preserving Classical Chinese Medicine with Dr. Simon Feeney

Dr. Simon Feeney's journey along the virtuous path of classical Chinese medicine and healing has been far from ordinary. His integrity and purist approach to everything he does, has successfully set a new standard for wholesale Chinese Herbs in Australia, with the establishment of his company/clinic Empirical Health six years ago. Purity, Quality, and Potency are the principle values of Empirical Health; The first and only Australian certified organic Chinese herb wholesaler dedicated to Dao Di principles. A Physician in Classical Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist, extensively knowledgable herbalist, and ongoing devoted scholar (20 years) of ancient medical Burmese scriptures, Simon's passion for upholding essential ancient knowledge is evident in everything he does. Like all journeys of the heart, Simon's is full of incredible stories; Stories of ancient manuscripts with cures for Leprosy, herbal preparations to treat malaria, being held at gunpoint in the name of preserving ancient teachings, and quests of translating bygone measurements for 2000-year-old formulas used in the Han Dynasty. In this potent conversation, Simon and Mason discuss the preservation of Classical Chinese medicine through lineage, the institutionalisation of TCM (where it's lacking), concocting ancient formulas, species identification when it comes to Dao Di, and the reverence for classical Chinese medicine as a complete system. Tune in for ancient knowledge and so much more.   Host and Guest discuss: -Pulse diagnosis. -The Han Dynasty. -Chinese herbalism. -Energetics of herbs. -Availability of herbs. -Plant identification. -Administration techniques. -Therapeutic alkaloid testing. -Quality discernment of herbs. -Dao Di (original growing region) principles -The evolving nature of Chinese Medicine. -Genetic testing and proper identification of herbs. -The current Chinese medicine renaissance in the west. -Dosage; The right dose, for the right person at the right time.   Resources: Facebook Instagram Empirical Health Empirical Health Shop empiricalhealth.com   Check Out The Transcript Here: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/preserving-classical-chinese-medicine-with-dr-simon-feeney-ep-127
