2026 Spring Class Materia Medica

This materia medica is organized by action first, herb second. You don’t start with plant names. You start with what the body is doing — inflamed, stagnant, tense, depleted, reactive — and choose the action that corrects it. Then you select the herb that delivers that action cleanly. It is built to work directly with the Formulation Ladder. The actions determine direction. The Ladder determines force and duration. Together, they prevent random stacking, overuse, and drifting formulas. If you want a system that trains clinical thinking instead of memorization, this is it.
