2 hours 2 CEU credits
Herbal medicines used for the digestive tract have characteristic qualities of hot, cold, moistening, or drying, in the terminology of classical medicine. Giving GI herbs without matching their humoral or energetic qualities to the presenting symptoms of the patient can lead to patient discomfort, aggravated conditions, and therapeutic failures. We will cover the signs and symptoms of the humors in the digestive tract, and the humoral properties of the most important categories and materia medica for the GI tract, with formulation strategies to prevent adverse humoral effects.
