As a Diplomate in Canonical Herbal Medicine through the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine, Dr. Martha trained under Dr. Arnaud Versluys, L.Ac., Ph.D. Canonical medicine draws exclusively from Han Dynasty (206 BCE–221 CE) medical texts, which form the foundation of modern Chinese medicine.
