Paul Bergner 2015
90 minutes 1.5 CEU credits
Topical applications are relevant for areas far beyond the skin. They are relevant anywhere where the herbal material can come in direct contact with the site of infection, injury, or inflammation. This may include the ears, both outer and middle, the mouth, the gums, the throat, the sinuses, the vagina, the rectum, and the upper portions of the digestive tract. Here we cover the materia medica and methods of application in various areas. Includes a complete review of the pharmacy and pharmacology of topical steroids, including types, indications, uses, doses, and adverse effects.
