25SW05 - Fearing the Future: The Botanical Treatment of Anxiety Disorder 

Speaker: David Winston, RH (AHG)
Over the past 5 years, the world has dealt with a major pandemic, economic chaos, political instability, climate change and environmental disasters, wars, famine and a host of other challenges and threats. It seems we are all on a hair trigger, just waiting for the next crisis. It is no wonder that the percentage of people reporting feelings of anxiety has spiked in the last several years. We can try to ignore the outside turmoil, but it has a way of finding us and sometime, deep breathing, medication, another stress reduction techniques are simply not enough. Fortunately herbs and nutritional supplements can offer much needed support of improving our mental health and reducing the grip of fear, anxiety and worry that for many of us has become a daily (but unwanted) companion in our lives. In this class we will discuss the effective use of anxiolytics, nervines and calming adaptogens to treat anxiety as well as the different types of anxiety and how to appropriately treat each one.
