Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hello. This is directed to those who may have studied TCM as well as acupuncture. My boyfriend is currently studying TCM and acupuncture, and he is having a problem keeping the names of herbs straight. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help, possibly from your own school days? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thank you so much for all of your help! It turns out that my boyfriend knows about Herbtunes and ZooCards, and felt they wouldn't work for him. In the end what did help was my sitting down and helping him study. At least I hope it helped; we'll find out when he gets his test back. We basically did this suggestion... we broke the 19 or so herbs that he had to know into groups of four or three, and he explained each one to me. Having to explain the indication of each herb and its relationship to which channel helped him to put into perspective and remember it more, instead of just trying to memorize a bunch of facts. We did another 3, then went back to the first 4, and on and on until we got through all of them. I only wish we had started earlier because by then it was 1 am, we had to be up by 7 and the test was at 9. Nevertheless, I think things went well.
