Covid19 Infections and Botanical Medicine Panel

75 minutes  

Herbalists have many strategies for managing viral infections, developed over thousands of years of viral exposures in the community at large. New or novel viruses may bring their own special challenges, but some principles remain the same. In this panel, drawing from eastern and western medical models, and from traditional and modern medicine, we will explore the ways that plant medicines can be used to build resistance and resilience, fight off acute infections, and manage the long term consequences of infection. With practical guidelines for keeping you and your family safe and well, and for supporting recovery after illness, as well as a consideration of the social and emotional stress from the pandemic and how to use herbs to manage fear, anxiety and loneliness.
