Efrem Korngold and Harriet Beinfield are also formulators of Chinese herbal formulas that are available to health care providers through Kan Herb. The Chinese Medicine Works Clinical Handbook describes these 60 formulas, informing practitioners about their clinical use.
The San Francisco Chinese Medicine Works clinic pharmacy features all of these remedies, making them available to the public. Local San Francisco residents can visit the pharmacy in person, and virtual visitors may order herbal products by phone and have them shipped throughout the United States.
Our own formulas
In our own practice, we rely heavily upon the Chinese herbal extracts that we ourselves have formulated. These products are manufactured and distributed by Kan Herb. There are 60 formulas in three distinct categories:
- Chinese Modular Solutions
An integrated repertoire of core formulas that can be combined to individualize prescriptions for each patient, including prescriptions for preventive medicine for fortifying the constitution. - Sage Solutions
A set of problem-based formulas that treat acute and chronic ailments as varied as allergies, menopause, infertility, flu, memory loss, low libido, bone density problems, tension, and fatigue. - Gentle Warriors
Developed particularly for pediatric care because they are gentle and tasty enough for children to swallow and easy for parents to administer to help children with colds, coughs, earaches, asthma, eczema, insomnia, indigestion, poor appetite, low resistance, and failure to thrive.
Together these constitute a complete herbal dispensary organized around the combination of formulas rather than the blending of individual bulk herbs. The Kan Herb reputation for manufacturing is trusted throughout the Chinese Medicine community in the United States; Kan Herb uses the highest quality herbs and the best production practices. Our liquid herbal extracts are produced in a low-heat, closed system, double-extraction process (water and alcohol). Because these formulas are clinically helpful, other providers in the United States and Europe use them as well.
