About this month’s video program:

Herbs are generally quite safe—certainly they have a better track record than pharmaceuticals—but they still may have side effects and drug interactions. We’ll discuss the safety of some of our most popular herbs. You’ll also get the low down on some “controversial herbs.” Are kava, black cohosh, and comfrey safe for your liver? Why should you use caution with St. John’s wort? How can you safely use herbs while taking pharmaceutical medications? What’s the best way to transition from pharmaceuticals to natural therapies? What can I take if I’m pregnant or nursing? I’ll share my favorite resources for herb and drug safety and give you some helpful, easy-to-remember guidelines. Herbs help bring us to better health, but it is our responsibility to use them wisely. (This webinar originally aired 04/2016)
