YOUR FULL NAME:  [[[  ]]]


--------------- TCHS Vol.1:
A-0: What are the 8 "combined patterns" of the fundamental qualities 
Exterior/Interior, Heat/Cold, Excess/Deficiency? (List them all.)
    [[[  ]]]


--------------- TCHS Database:
B-0: A client has Interior-Cold-Deficiency (Deficiency of Yang) syndrome. 
Which primary categories of herbs would be appropriate places to search for 
possible ingredients in a formula?
    [[[  ]]]
    Hint:   There are 3 categories that are relevant.

B-1: For the preceding client, assume that the Deficiency of Yang is centered 
in the Organs of Kidney (Kd) and Spleen (Sp). Use the Materia Medica Browser 
table to hunt for specific herbs that meet ALL the following criteria:
 (1) Warms Interior
 (2) Tonifies Yang 
 (3) enters both Kidney (Kd) and Spleen (Sp) Organs?
    [[[  ]]]
    Hint:   Remember to extend your search throughout the entire table, 
    including the 2ndary herbs that Warm Interior but are listed under a 
    different primary category. There are a total of 5 herbs in the entire table 
    that meet all the preceding criteria.

B-2: What are the contraindications and cautions for using Rz Zingiberis (dry 
ginger)?
    [[[  ]]]
    Hint:   to find this information, in the 'Warm Interior' browser table 
    of herbs, click on the herb entry 'Zingiberis, Rz [gan- jiang-]'. Scan the 
    materia medica entry for that herb to familiarize yourself with the types of 
    information presented. Find the section entitled 'Cautions:'.

B-3: What is the standard dosage range, in grams (g) for Rz Zingiberis?
    [[[  ]]]

B-4: For the preceding client, refer to the Formula Browser table to hunt for 
formula candidates among formulas that Warm and tonify Yang. Which single 
formula in that table, based on its short description, would seem to be the 
best candidate?
    [[[  ]]]
    Hint:   See especially the 'Functions' field in the formula table.

B-5 (optional): Using the Music Browser feature, what might be some appropriate 
classical music listening pieces for the preceding case?
    [[[  ]]]
    Hint:   the 'Spleen' prefers music that is lyrical and harmonious 
    rather than  dissonant; be sure to read the specific qualities. If you are a
    regular classical music listener, these principles will seem intuitive to you.
    (YouTube has an incredibly diverse collection of top-notch classical music
    performances. I encourage you to sample these specific works to see for 
    yourself. Don't just take my word for it.)
