Atopic Phenomena: Allergies, Asthma and Eczema with Jillian Stansbury, ND
Allergies, asthma, eczema, hay fever, and hives are increasingly common conditions that can significantly impact quality of life. This lecture explores effective herbal protocols that address these allergic disorders, focusing on key botanicals such as Ginkgo, Euphrasia, Tanacetum, Ephedra, and Curcuma. We will begin with an overview of the origins and underlying mechanisms of allergic reactions, followed by a discussion of integrative approaches to managing immune hypersensitivity. Special attention will be given to the phytochemical properties of these herbs, their therapeutic actions, and considerations for formulation. Gain valuable insights into how botanical medicine can be used to modulate immune responses and provide symptom relief in both acute and chronic allergic conditions. (Catalog Number: 09ME32)

Chris Kilham draws from his years in the Peruvian Amazon studying with curanderos (herbal healers) and shamans (healers who also work to heal the psyche and spirit). After describing the continuing devastation he has observed, he gives hope for saving portions of the rainforest by the cultivation of native foods and medicinals. He describes three of these plants in this presentation.
