Sperb’s Herbs – Warm and Release the Exterior Herbs

This week’s episode actually covers an entire category of Chinese herbs: the warm and release the exterior herbs. This is usually the first category of herbs Chinese medical practitioners learn and it has some really important Chinese herbs. In addition, we will be talking about external pathogens from a Chinese medical perspective and how we contract colds. This episode is jam packed with tons of useful information!

Every other week an exciting new episode of the Sperb’s Herbs podcast is recorded. Each episode covers another Chinese or world herb or formula and will go into great depth about it. Besides covering the basics of Chinese 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 episode’s herb.
