A review of research shows that a number of herbs traditionally used for anxiety are clinically effective compared to the pharmaceuticals. They have effects on the GABA system but do not present the side effects common to drugs. Herbs we will cover include Piper methysticum (Kava), Valeriana (Valerian), Humulus (Hops), Matricaria (Chamomile), Passiflora (Passion flower) Withania (Ashwagandha), Scutellaria (Scullcap), and Melissa (Lemon Balm).\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:\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2022-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e 2022 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":50603415371992,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602274160856,"sku":"22SW04","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":"panel-reducing-medication-prescriptions-and-side-effects-in-our-elders","title":"22ME23 - Panel: Reducing Medication Prescriptions and Side Effects in our Elders","description":"\u003cp\u003ePanelists:\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Proefrock-Kenneth\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Kenneth Proefrock, NMD\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/rondeau-mary\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMary Rondeau, ND, RH (AHG)\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Yance-Donald\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDonald Yance, CN, RH (AHG)\u003c\/a\u003e Polypharmacy in the elderly is an increasing issue and medication side effects affect this population greater than younger generations.
