How do we treat the whole person and not simply the disease?
A model will be presented that provides a practical way of approaching each unique person and therapeutic situation, going beyond the alleviation of symptoms that herbs do so well. A range of selection criteria will be discussed and a protocol applied to sample case histories. This class is intended for advanced students.
Sunday September 28th
Herb/Drug interactions and the safe use of Herbal Medicines.
There is a well established tradition of how to use herbal medicines both effectively and safely. However there is little in the traditions that sheds light on herb/drug interactions – a vital issue in modern health-care. We will explore the pharmacological basis of interactions, considering both pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions. We will focus on the assessment of safety, as well as real life clinical significance.

“I truly enjoyed the training--what a joy to see so many healing modalities in practice, and all the perspectives coming together into a single focus for the benefit of a client. This type of interaction and the learning that occurs throughout the process was priceless. The atmosphere was comfortable, yet challenging, and I'm sure every participant walked away with deeper wisdom on many levels. Thank you for setting the tone of acceptance and respect---it is noticed, appreciated, and vital to the growth of less experienced healers." Jude Millar
