Winter Herbal School 2023

Beauty by Botanicals: How Herbs Support Skin Health

On the one hand, it’s great from a holistic perspective when imbalances show themselves on the skin, as it’s considered to be a superficial expression of dis-ease. On the other hand, everyone might see it! 50 million Americans suffer from acne and one in ten will develop atopic dermatitis. Drug commercials are rampant on television for skin conditions, often with toxic effects on the liver. So as a practitioner who turns to Nature’s remedies first, what can you offer? This webinar will take a deep dive into which herbs will better support your patients with common skin complaints. We will address both internal and external applications of herbal medicine giving everyone hope that they might cultivate a healthy glow from the inside out.

Integrating Phytotherapy and Clinical Nutrition for the Modern Patient

Plant medicines hold unique promise and potential to help us meet the unprecedented demands of modern life. Chronic disease is on the rise, and life expectancy is falling. The demands of environmental toxicity, man-made radiation, chronic infection and stress place great demands on the bodymind. Immune and autoimmune conditions, cardiometabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancer, fatigue and cognitive decline are on the rise.

Today’s herbal therapy, based in ancient tradition and modern science, can help us not only survive but thrive in the modern world. Whole-food nutrition, as the foundational underpinning of all therapeutics, make herbal medicine more effective, and in less time.

This two-day training gives you the knowledge, tools and practical strategies for improving your patient care and outcomes with an integrated approach to blending phytotherapy and food-based nutritional support. Learn traditional applications and current research on how plant medicines can increase resilience and well-being for acute, corrective and preventative care.

Specific topics will include the endocannabinoid system and cannabimimetics, cardiometabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and more. You’ll receive invaluable insights on what really works in practice, from Dr Michael Gaeta, a successful herbalist and nutritionist with 30 years of clinical experience.
