Healing A Broken Immune System With Herbal and Functional Medicine
with Hillary Thing, L.Ac
The immune system is incredibly complex and dynamic with inherent self-regulating capability. Yet tens of millions of Americans suffer from inflammation, auto-immunity, and inability to recover from infections (immune deficiency). As a result, many people suffer from chronic, unresolved inflammatory conditions (such as long-haul Covid, chronic Lyme, auto-immune illness, et al.) that Western medicine has few lasting solutions for. Now more than ever, having a deep understanding of the immune system and being able to confidently address these growing health epidemics will lead to far greater clinical success with your patients. A strategic herbal approach is one of the best ways to do this.
You will learn:
- How to identify and diagnose specific types of immune system imbalances, and why this is key to the effective treatment of inflammation, auto-immunity and immune deficiency;
- How to analyze simple blood labs (such as the CBC) to make profound distinctions among immune system conditions and greatly clarify treatment strategy.
- The contributing factors and results of immune dysregulation, and how to address them through lifestyle, botanical medicines, and food;
- Key positive feedback loops (aka vicious cycles) that fuel immune dysregulation, and how to interrupt / reverse them;
- Quick tricks as well as long-term protocols and treatment principles that include the use of herbal formulas, functional medicine, acu-moxa therapy, lifestyle and liposomal essential oil remedies.
