This demand has been a huge boon for traders. But what are the sustainability issues? Drawing on decades of Amazon experience and a two-year Medicine Hunter sustainability study of ayahuasca 2017 – 2019, we'll dive deeply into Peru's world of sacred plants, with vivid images and first-hand accounts, and learn what's really happening.\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-Medicines-from-the-Earth-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2023 Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium: 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":50603433492696,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602264461528,"sku":"23ME09","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_d1496136-9b1c-48b7-b7f5-d80292a1f0de.png?v=1752121677"},{"product_id":"botanical-analogs-for-at-risk-medicinals","title":"24ME14 - Botanical Analogs for At-Risk Medicinals","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpeaker:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/maier-kat\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKat Maier, RH (AHG)\u003c\/a\u003e  United Plant Savers (UpS) has created the invaluable \"At-Risk\" Tool, which is based on various relationships that we humans, as well as ecosystems, have with the plants.

When cultivated species are not available, then it is best to find a plant analog; one having a parallel action, function or end result compared to the herb you want to save. In most instances, it is important and necessary to use a variety of analogs for the at-risk herb because an analog generally satisfies only some of the therapeutic actions of a particular plant species and does not demonstrate all medicinal actions of that plant. It is sometimes difficult to find replacements for our tried and true herb friends, but it also can be very satisfying and will expand your expertise, while helping to replant our future.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603416387800,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602259644632,"sku":"24ME14","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_476f2e52-fc31-452b-9ce8-1d3fbfc86df5.png?v=1752121293"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/collections\/conservation.oembed","provider":"Botanical Medicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
