We focus on commonly used substances of overuse, including prescribed medications and other substances (including nicotine, cannabis, alcohol, methamphetamines, opium, cocaine and heroin). We present the botanical and nutritional therapies useful in managing chronic physical pain, emotional pain, and addiction, with strategies for recovery without harm.

It is also the most common reason for them to continue seeking medical attention when the usual routes of pharmaceutical intervention fail them. If a drug is able to resolve one's pain in the moment, it seldom addresses the reasons for that pain and is unable to keep the pain away without successively stronger dosages, until, eventually, the drug doesn't work any longer. Continued experience of pain pushes us to a contraction within ourselves, away from the pain, often at a high cost mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is an arena where natural therapeutics like botanical medicine, dietary therapy, exercise, and meditation can make a difference. We discuss adaptogenic botanicals like Aralia, Eleutherococcus, Cissus, and Schisandra, as well as specific therapeutic plant medicines like Piscidia, Mitrogyna, Cannabis, Pedicularis, Dicentra, Leonotis, Leonurus, and Glycyrrhiza.\u003cbr\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\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603429495000,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602277929176,"sku":"21SW23","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":"effective-pain-relief-with-botanical-and-nutritional-medicine","title":"21ME30 - Effective Pain Relief with Botanical and Nutritional Medicine","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Winston-David\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDavid Winston, RH (AHG)\u003c\/a\u003e  The search for effective, safe and non-addictive pain medication is an age-old quest.

They can vary widely in appearance, with causes ranging from insect bites to HIV and reactions to medications, they can affect one part of the body or cover a large area. Rashes can be dry, moist, bumpy, smooth, cracked, or blistered. They can involve pain, itching, and color changes. There is a vast spectrum for how skin rashes manifest in patients with more and less pigmentation and this is an arena of medicine fraught with controversy (most skin rashes are presented in photos of less pigmented people in the medical literature, but most skin manifestations of STI's are presented with photos of people of with more pigmentation–a significant effector of bias when that distortion is presented to medical students). Some rashes will clear up on their own, some respond to herbal remedies, and others might be a sign of something more serious that needs to be addressed differently. We will discuss the many reasons for skin rashes and the underlying mechanism for their presentation, including skin infections from bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic infections, allergies, and medications.
