Course Overview

This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on August 24, 2026 - 4am AWST, 6am AEST, 8am NZST.

 

We are going to be recording three episodes of the Sperb's Herbs podcast. The first covers the Chinese herb Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger Rhizome), one of the most commonly used herbs in Chinese medicine and the world. The second is another herb of the world, Kalahari Cactus (Hoodia gordonii), reported to be useful in losing weight and lowering blood pressure. The third episode covers the Chinese herb Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) from herbs that warm the interior and expel cold category, as well as being delicious. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!

 

The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
