About the webinar Xiaoyao San is one of the most widely recognised formulas in Chinese medicine, but understanding its clinical application requires more than memorising its familiar modern indications. Drawing on classical sources, later medical commentaries and clinical case studies, Michael Brown will explore the reasoning behind the formula’s composition, traditional patterns and evolving applications.

The session will begin with the core principles of Xiāoyáo Sǎn before progressing into more detailed historical and clinical analysis. This webinar is intended for educational purposes and is designed for Chinese medicine practitioners and students.
