Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on January 20, 2025 - 5am AWST, 8am AEDT, 10am NZDT.
We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb's Herbs podcast. The first covers another herb of the world, Vasaka (Adhatoda vasica), another herb from the Ayurvedic traditions. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena Rhizome) from the herbs that drain fire category. 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!
