Speaker: Jillian Stansbury, ND Glutamate dysfunction is noted to contribute to neurologic disorders including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Depression, Epilepsy, Stroke and more. Naturally occurring molecules in herbal medicines can prevent glutamate-driven inflammatory and excitatory states. This session will review herbal medicines capable of reducing excessive glutamate synthesis and release, of optimizing the expression of glutamate receptors in ionotropic and metabotropic tissues, and of enhancing glutamate transport and clearance from sensitive neurons. We will review classic TCM formulas for neurologic conditions and Western Herbs for a variety of neurologic disorders that work, in part, via effects on glutaminergic neurotransmission.
