COURSE DESCRIPTION

As a traditional healing system, herbalism is an inherently personalised modality that focuses on treating the whole person, not just the disease. In this course, you will learn how to make more informed decisions on medicinal herbs for patients with cystic fibrosis and how traditional herbalism can complement conventional medicinal interventions.

Much of the information presented can also apply to other respiratory diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, COPD, chronic sinusitis, and other severe respiratory infections. The course also explores the following themes: how respiratory disease develops in cystic fibrosis; how antimicrobial herbs may help fight infection directly; techniques to address and prevent sinus infections; herbs that may improve immune responses and modulate imbalanced immune reactions; the use of adaptogenic herbs to balance adrenal dysregulation; and herbs that soothe cough while helping reduce inflammation and scarring in the respiratory tract.
