SUMMARY:Herb-Drug Interactions: An Integrative Approach with Benjamin Zappin\, LAc and Ingrid Bauer\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Herb-Drug Interactions: An Integrative Approach with Benjamin Zappin\, LAc and Ingrid Bauer\, MD \n  \n📆 Monday\, September 14\, 21\, 28\, & October 5\n⏱️ 6:00pm – 8:00pm ET / 3:00pm – 5:00pm PT \n  \nAbout this Series \nA Four-Part Series (4 x 2 hour classes\, 90 min plus 30 q&a each class) \nIn this series\, Ben & Ingrid will share from their years of experience in clinical practice navigating the intersection between herbs and pharmaceuticals\, and their years of teaching about this topic. Rather than trying to cover every possible topic\, after the first week of laying a solid foundation\, they will delve into their three favorite areas of health expertise: cardiovascular health\, pain & inflammation\, and mental health. \n  \nThis series will be geared toward advanced students and practicing herbalists and will primarily review Western herbs\, but will also include some information about TCM. We will ground our teaching in cases and offer suggested treatment protocols while promoting “flexible” herbalism. We will take a “both/and” rather than an “either/or” approach to integrative medicine\, and will highlight “red flags” that merit referral to a higher level of care. \n  \nPart 1: Introduction to Pharmacology & Herb-Drug interactions \n\nFoundations of pharmacology including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics\nHow to read scholarly articles and interpret information about herb-drug interactions\nPotentially beneficial and/or harmful herb-drug interactions\nInterprofessional communication about herbs & drugs\n\n  \nPart 2: Cardiovascular Health \n\nBlood pressure\nLipids\nCardiac conditions: CHF and arrhythmias\n\n  \nPart 3: Pain and Inflammation \n\nMusculoskeletal conditions\nInflammatory conditions\nSmooth muscle and visceral pain\n\n  \nPart 4: Mental Health \n\nDepression & Anxiety\nExtreme states of consciousness
