Herbs Are Not Drugs
Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc explores how herbs are fundamentally different than drugs. They do not force the body, rather they work with the natural processes of our body, its cells and many signaling molecules. We can use herbs to replace allopathic drugs, for example using "phytoestrogens" rather than synthetic estrogens, salicin found in willow bark rather than aspirin, kava rather than benzodiazepines, or antibiotic herbs (garlic, andrographis, oregano oil, and berberine) rather than purified compounds like doxycycline. Herbs connect us with the earth, our source.
In This Session You'll Discover:
- How herbs can help transform our health with "side benefits" rather than side effects
- Herbs are safe, sustainable, and body-compatible
- Herbs are earth friendly medicines, they are "food-medicines"
