For this reason, it is vital not to treat the skin to suppress the body's attempt at healing. Some skin conditions and some patients are more easily suppressed than others.

Subsequently, across the 1800s, all schools of medicine used them as primary medicines.  Both were official in the US Pharmacopoeia throughout the 1800s. The British herbalists used them, and one Brit who is stated to have treated 10,000 patients using these herbs with others during the 1918 flu pandemic said he did not lose a patient. These two were also among the top herbs to treat influenza among the Eclectics in the US during the 1918 pandemic. Bring it up to today, and these two herbs are extremely valuable in COVID, and I have seen or have case reports on one or the other being a \"game-changer\" when introduced to an individual with long lingering symptoms. This would review the science on each herb, the history of use in medicine, and practical means of applying, with dose and form, and case studies from my own experience. This is appealing to me for how it intertwines medical history with practical therapeutics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2023-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2023 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603424383192,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602267017432,"sku":"23SW01","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8_1.png?v=1762003994"},{"product_id":"herbal-treasures-from-the-national-formulary-nf-of-1906","title":"23SW02 - Herbal Treasures from the National Formulary (NF) of 1906","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/bergner-paul\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePaul Bergner, Medical Herbalist\u003c\/a\u003e The NF was the official listing of formulas for allopathic physicians and pharmacists at the turn of the 20th century.

Humans are the most adaptable creatures on planet Earth and much of modern life is unfavorable to a healthy lifestyle and a well-working mind over the long term. Our bodies and our minds are designed to respond to an ever-changing world that swings between the extremes of safeness and un-safeness, and the resulting constant calibration of the neuronal architecture of one's self to the unfolding physical sensations of life. This is how we derive a sense of meaning from those experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essence of the biochemical phenomenon we regard as neuroplasticity is an ongoing and dynamic process of a constant assembling and disassembling of microtubular neural structures, which become consolidated through sensory input into our neural architecture. The other neuronal connections are culled and their raw materials used for the next growth spurt. Central to this idea is how effectively our neurological system is able to shift its architectural components to better accommodate the experiences of life. We are selective in how we interpret our reality; our mind and our senses conspire to make us decide what is real and what is unreal, what to remember and what to forget, they co-ordinate our feelings of pleasant or unpleasant, beauty or ugliness, appealing or not appealing. Botanical medicine provides a means to re-calibrate one's experiences with agents like Kava (Piper methysticum), Valeriana spp, Leonurus cardiaca, and Leonotis leonurus, which have a defined effect on most people, but it is not uniform across all individuals. As we discuss these subtleties, we have the opportunity to understand ourselves, our neighbors and our world more deeply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2023-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2023 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603425726680,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602266231000,"sku":"23SW09","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8.png?v=1761793460"},{"product_id":"hear-ye-hear-ye-a-natural-history-of-the-ear-and-its-pathology-from-otitis-to-meniere-s-and-hearing-loss","title":"23SW10 - Hear Ye!

Unfortunately, our cultural narrative around drug use does not allow for a tolerance of, much less identification with, addiction and so herbalists who want to help find there is a lack of practical information about how to provide support. In this class, Jen shares protocols she's used in her practice to support clients who want to quit using opioids. Using principles of harm reduction as a framework to provide support, we examine conventional concepts of addiction from various angles as we explore alternative ways to support those experiencing addiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2023-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2023 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603435983064,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602265706712,"sku":"23SW16","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8.png?v=1761793460"},{"product_id":"detoxifying-the-body-the-clinical-use-of-alteratives-depuratives-and-antidyscratics","title":"23SW22 - Detoxifying the Body: The Clinical Use of Alteratives, Depuratives and Antidyscratics","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/winston-david\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDavid Winston, RH (AHG)\u003c\/a\u003e The concept of an alterative was a very prominent part of western medicine up until the early 20th century. Even though alteratives were dropped from western medicine, their use still persists as an important part of herbal medicine. These herbs enhance normal eliminatory functioning via the major eliminatory organs, thus allowing the body to function more effectively even on a cellular level. Come join us as we learn about the most important alterative herbs, the differences between alteratives and antidyscratics, and how they can be used to promote healthy elimination of metabolic wastes to maintain health.

The differences between these herbs and various immunosuppressive and biologic drugs for autoimmune diseases are considered, along with the problems with these drugs, including herb-drug interactions (positive and negative).

Paul Bergner describes the foundational dietary and nutritional factors which can underlie the many possible symptoms of long covid and other \"long\" chronic diseases. He evaluates nutrient and lifestyle deficiencies in each patient which are associated with common, very specific symptoms of long COVID and other chronic conditions. He explains how herbal therapeutics alone are unlikely to produce a strong recovery if these dietary and lifestyle imbalances are still present. Kenneth Proefrock addresses the medications given for acute COVID and their long-term effects, and whether any of these drugs may be useful in the treatment of long COVID.
