In the USA today there is an opioid epidemic. Tylenol can damage the liver, and NSAIDs can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Drugs used to treat neuropathy have been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior. Therefore, we urgently need alternatives to analgesic medications.
Chinese Herbs for Pain Relief will feature protocols for treating muscle, joint, nerve pain, and headache. We will discuss how to get the best results with your clients including the timing of symptomatic and constitutional treatments. In addition to herbs that have analgesic effects, we will also look at ingredients that reduce edema, improve circulation, and quell inflammation. Andrew Gaeddert, RH, founder of Health Concerns, explains how herbal formulas can serve as a safer alternative to pharmaceutical medications. Case studies will be presented.
