Rebuilding Damaged Intestinal Walls and Treating Gut Permeability with Botanical Medicines
Jillian Stansbury, ND
When the permeability of the gut walls is altered, numerous systemic health complaints may result. Undigested proteins can leak into the submucosal tissue, causing gut reactivity and digestive symptoms. If these proteins are absorbed into the bloodstream, allergic and autoimmune conditions may manifest. This lecture offers herbal and nutritional therapies for repairing the intestinal mucosa and restoring optimal gut barrier functions. (Product Code: 16ME04)
Plus Lecture notes to accompany these audio recordings in PDF Format (66-page digital book) included in the $55 package price.
