Speaker: Paul Bergner. Little-known but well-established facts about human physiology are presented which demonstrate the wisdom and relevance of traditional herbal practices and may change the way you use herbs with patients now. Subtopics include the healing power of mucous, the urinary alkaline tide; the speed of kidney filtration; the gut wall as lymphoid tissue; connective tissue as immunological organ; and plasma protein re-circulation in the lymph.  Categories of herbal actions include expectorants, demulcents, vulneraries, anti-inflammatories, lymphatics and alteratives.  Delivery as tinctures, teas, and topical applications are evaluated.
