Course Objective:

This course provides a survey on the diagnoses, treatments, and prevention for a few ageing-related

At the end of the class, participants will be able to:
– Describe aging-related health conditions from the TCM perspective;

– Suggest supplements and dietary therapies to the elderly populations for a healthy life;

– Safely and properly prescribe herbal formulas to improve some aging-related health conditions; and,
