Since ancient times, botanical medicines have been used to effectively treat cutaneous wounds and reduce the onset of infections. Prior to antibiotic medications, a relatively simple wound on a hand or a foot could take a person's life if not attended to properly. The widespread use of antibiotics throughout the second half of the 1900's led to an overconfidence in the effectiveness of these agents and a notable complacency in pursuing the high levels of wound care that were necessary prior to antibiotic chemotherapy. There are a remarkable number of wound-healing botanicals that have been widely used in the Northern Hemisphere, including Achillea millefolium, Aloe vera, Althea officinalis, Calendula officinalis, Matricaria chamomilla, Curcuma longa, Eucalyptus, Jojoba, plantain, pine, green tea, pomegranate, and Inula. This discussion covers the topics of antibiotic resistance, with an overview of the antibiotics involved in resistance development and how to use botanical medicine correlates, added to effective wound care and hygiene considerations.\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\/2024-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2024 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: 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":50603438178520,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602261381336,"sku":"24SW17","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":"herbal-skin-care-preparations-demonstration","title":"24ME18 - Herbal Skin Care Preparations (Demonstration)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpeaker:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/vandyke-lucretia\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLucretia VanDyke, Herbalist and Author\u003c\/a\u003e  In this class we will span the globe for botanical-based beauty recipes from Asia to my family secrets from the mountains of North Carolina.

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. We discuss the internal and topical botanical medicine interventions that have a history of use and we discuss their rationale, we also discuss concepts of suppression vs. healing.\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(89, 89, 89); font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 15.333332px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product:\u003c\/span\u003e The PowerPoint for this recording is available here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hnrvev-zu.myshopify.com\/collections\/digital-books\/products\/25men-2025-medicines-from-the-earth-herb-symposium-conference-book-download-pdf\"\u003e2025 Medicines from the Earth Herb: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore information on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1618066863934000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNFeCzbEOTGcsENvqCsya-xpRbBHBg\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContinuing Education Program\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603436605656,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602256269528,"sku":"25ME16","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8_1.png?v=1762003994"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/collections\/skin.oembed","provider":"Botanical Medicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
