SUMMARY:Ren Shen Bai Du San (Ginseng Powder to Overcome Pathogenic Influences) and Gao Ben (Chinese Lovage Root)
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb’s Herbs podcast. The first covers another Chinese formula\, Ren Shen Bai Du San (Ginseng Powder to Overcome Pathogenic Influences)\, a formula that releases exterior disorders with interior deficiency. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Gao Ben (Chinese Lovage Root) from the warm\, acrid herbs that release the exterior category. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category\, and functions\, we will explore the history\, quality\, science\, pharmacology\, evidence\, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective\, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!

SUMMARY:Five Elements of Acupuncture Medical Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar\nThis course will look at basic medical ethics and how they apply to Acupuncture and Oriental Medical practices. It will cover the five basic principles/areas every practitioner should know. It then goes on to explore fundamental medical ethics including looking at the works of Hippocrates and Sun Si Miao and discussing the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment as well as NCCAOM’s Code of Ethics.

SUMMARY:Why (Not How) Do Herbs Work?
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar\nWe generally know how herbs work either from Chinese or scientific theory or a combination of both. But why do they work? What in the history of plants\, animals\, and evolution created the benefits of these healthy little bundles? This lecture will examine these questions\, in a mind-opening and scientific (but not overwhelming) approach\, by exploring Gaia theory\, hormesis and xenohormesis\, planetary autopoiesis\, DNA and epigenetics\, and Plant–Human Coalitions. This will be a logical and philosophical exploration of herbs\, why and how co-evolution has played a role in their effectiveness.

SUMMARY:Treating High Cholesterol with Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar\nHigh cholesterol and triglycerides (hyperlipidemias) have been shown to contribute to heart disease\, the leading cause of death in the United States. Drugs used to treat these conditions are consistently in the top ten drugs sold in the US. Chinese medicine can help these patients in natural and effective ways. This course looks at the biomedical side of these conditions including the pathophysiology\, common (and not so common) lab tests\, and treatments\, mostly pharmaceuticals. Then we will look at how Chinese medicine can help. We will discuss acupuncture\, herbs\, and lifestyle changes and the evidence to support their use. Practitioners will walk away with a clear understanding of these conditions and tools on how to help their patients.

SUMMARY:Treating Eczema and Psoriasis with Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar\nEczema and psoriasis\, though both quite common\, can be very difficult to treat from both a biomedical and Chinese medical perspective. This course takes a deep dive into these two conditions from both points of view. First\, we will explore the biomedical side of these conditions: what are they\, how are they diagnosed and monitored\, what are the current treatments (including drugs\, light therapy\, etc…) and how effective are they. Then we will look at potential Chinese medical diagnoses and how to treat them using acupuncture and herbs. Are we able to plot a course that combines the two perspectives to make a more effective treatment? Or is Chinese medicine alone enough? Let’s find out!
