In Chinese herbal formulas class this quarter, we're studying six formulas each week, focused around an archetypal herb that features prominently, creating a "Formula Family." (See "10 Key Formulas in CM" by Huang Huang). I'm creating mandalas of each formula again, to facilitate my own process of understanding, enjoying, and memorizing them.... and wish to share with you. They're much simpler this time, for greater efficiency for me. It's perhaps less informative for you, but hopefully still interesting, at least aesthetically. Enjoy!
