26ME18 - Traces and Tendencies: Herbal Care in the Context of Long-Term Substance Use

As chronic medication use becomes increasingly common, many patients experience nutrient depletion, organ stress, and unintended side effects over time. 

This lecture explores how botanical medicine can be used alongside long-term pharmaceutical therapies to support resilience, reduce adverse effects, and enhance overall patient well-being.

Stovall examines herb-drug interactions, safety considerations, and clinical strategies for integrating herbs without compromising therapeutic outcomes. Topics include liver and kidney support, gut restoration, nervous system regulation, and replenishment of key nutrients. 

Designed for integrative and conventional practitioners alike, this session offers practical tools to help you confidently and safely incorporate herbal support into long-term care plans.
