Now out of print, Cormac's work has become increasingly difficult to obtain. This application ensures that the complete material remains available to practitioners, faculty and students in a format designed for modern clinical use. Every module, indication, herb, and formula from the original book has been incorporated into an intuitive interface that allows you to navigate complex custom herbal prescriptions in seconds.

Whether you are building a formula from scratch, refining an existing prescription, or studying the relationships between modules, the app is designed to make Cormac's methodology more accessible without changing the content of the original work.

To help you get started, watch the guided video tutorial below, walking through the interface and demonstrating practical clinical workflows so you can begin using the application immediately.
