The primary mission of the Chinese Herb Academy is to provide a platform for advanced study in Chinese Herbal Medicine with particular attention to both the exploration of classical texts and the developments of modern scientific research. The goal of this mission is to help lay a foundation for an integral modern 21st century medicine that draws insight from the great medical traditions of Asia, yet is firmly rooted in controlled scientific research.
