Course Overview

This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on October 27, 2024 - 1pm PDT, 4pm EDT, 5pm BRT, 8pm GMT, 9pm CET, 1:30am IST, 7am AEDT, 9am NZDT.

We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb's Herbs podcast. The first covers another herb of the world, Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens), an herb used for its medicinal properties for over 2,000 years. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Qiang Huo
(Notopterygium Root) from the cool, acrid herbs that release the exterior. 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!
