In this presentation, we explore types of saponins, their biological functions, the synergistic effects, and medications that are derived from them. Saponin-rich herbs highlighted in the presentation include Glycyrrhiza, Panax spp, Tribulus, Salvia milt, Aesculus hippocastanum, and more.

Phytoestrogens (a type of phytosterol) have been subjected to the most research and are shown to bind estrogen receptors and act as either agonists or antagonists, and sometimes both simultaneously. Phytosterols also include isoflavones, coumestans, and related compounds, which all have varying activity and ligand affinity in various tissues and with various estrogen sub-receptor types. This session reviews the maturing research on phytosterols and explores safety concerns, indications, contraindications, and important phytosterol-containing herbs such as legumes (Medicago, Trifolium, Pueraria, Glycyrrhiza) and Apiaceae family plants (Foeniculum and Pimpinella).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\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:\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2021-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2021 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603433722072,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602278322392,"sku":"21SW18","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":"the-chemistry-of-flavors-expanding-our-palette-and-increasing-our-neural-connections","title":"21ME28 - The Chemistry of Flavors: Expanding our Palette and Increasing our Neural Connections","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Proefrock-Kenneth\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKenneth Proefrock, NMD\u003c\/a\u003e  Taste brings in at least eight categories of specific sensory experience: sour, sweet, salty, bitter, savory, pungent, spicy and astringent, with an additional component of texture and mouth-feel. Expanding the dietary\/flavor palette provides new and interesting input to our palate and, it turns out, has a stimulating effect on the genesis of neural connections in our nervous system and a dramatic effect on our memory. Here we provide a context for expanding one's palate and calibrating that experience in a meaningful way that is specific to healing and botanical medicine.
