Over the past 40 years, the evolution of psychoneuroimmunology has revealed how profoundly the state of one's mind affects one's state of health. In patients with even mild depression, T cell responses to certain immune-stimulating molecules (mitogens) were weakened. In cases of both anxiety and depression, the production of white blood cells was reduced and patients exhibited increased susceptibility to infection. Recent research has also revealed that negative emotions can stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, pushing the immune system into an excitatory state and exacerbating autoimmune conditions.\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\/2022-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2022 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603438506200,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602272260312,"sku":"22SW18","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":"distress-anxiety-and-depression-a-botanically-based-approach","title":"23ME02 - Distress, Anxiety and Depression: A Botanically-Based Approach","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Alschuler-Lise\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLise Alschuler, ND, FABNO\u003c\/a\u003e Is \"stress\" a misnomer for anxiety and depression?

Drawing from over 15 years of experience providing care in disaster zones both in the U.S. and abroad, Sam will review essential herbal protocols for musculoskeletal trauma, immune support, and stress management in austere conditions. Key topics include setting up sustainable infrastructure for herbal medicine in disaster environments, combining basic Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques (such as ear seed therapy) with field-ready formulations, and understanding practical challenges in resource-limited settings. Case studies from Sam's hurricane response efforts, including post-Harvey work along the Texas coast, will be shared to highlight real-world clinical applications and lessons learned in disaster recovery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 15.333332px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\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 style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1618066863934000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNFeCzbEOTGcsENvqCsya-xpRbBHBg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContinuing Education Program\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603420025048,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602255745240,"sku":"25ME07","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"},{"product_id":"a-number-of-nervines","title":"25ME14 - A Number of Nervines","description":"\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/jim-mcdonald\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ejim mcdonald, Herbalist\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 18.4px;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 15.333332px;\"\u003eThe dysregulating impact of chronic and systemic stress on every system of the body highlights the important role of nervines in all manner of health imbalances.  But there are SO MANY nervines, how do we choose between them?  The idea of relative strength is often used, but gentle nervines are in no way \"weaker\" than more forceful plants.  Join jim in looking at the qualitative (energetic) virtues of plants and their specific indications within and outside the nervous system can help us get optimal results by choosing the right herb(s) for the right person.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 15.333332px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 1;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product:\u003c\/span\u003e The PowerPoint for this recording is available here: \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" 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\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore information on our \u003ca style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1618066863934000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNFeCzbEOTGcsENvqCsya-xpRbBHBg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContinuing Education Program\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602255548632,"sku":"25ME14","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603415535832,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"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\/stress.oembed","provider":"Botanical Medicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
