free webinar on herb authentication today

[Guest guest]

I'm doing a free webinar on herbal quality discernment and authentication today

at 1 pm MST. Here is a brief description and a link:

 

Chinese herbal pharmacy is an ancient and complex discipline within Chinese

medicine. Over the centuries, many different regional substitutes and

adulterants have been introduced into the herbal marketplace, and many herbs

that have similar names and appearances are easily confused. Consequently, there

are many examples of herbs that are commonly misidentified in both Asia and the

West.

 

In China, clinicians rely on experts in pharmacy to obtain the correct

medicinals, so doctors do not need to have significant expertise in issues

related to herbal pharmacy. By contrast, practitioners in the West often have to

play the role of both doctor and pharmacist, which requires a relatively

sophisticated understanding of multiple disciplines. As practitioners, we must

know how to avoid potentially dangerous substitutes, and we need to make sure

that the items that we prescribe have been correctly identified so that we can

achieve reliable therapeutic results. This course illustrates how to avoid

misidentified and counterfeit medicinals so that you can always give your

patients the safety and efficacy they deserve.
