How do you interpret the quality of scientific studies? How do you work with doctors, or patients who are taking prescription drugs or already have a medical diagnosis? This intermediate-level workshop explores the significance of evidence-based herbalism by weaving case histories and patient interactions into a vital overview of herb-drug interactions, herb safety such as kava and the liver, and clinical herb efficacy based on high-quality ancient and modern evidence. Practical clinical skills, such as pulse and tongue diagnosis, and western medical tests will also be reviewed.
