Late last year, we sadly said goodbye to American Master Herbalist, Stephen Buhner, who passed away in December.  We are so grateful for Stephen’s legacy and have been paying tribute to him by sharing excerpts from some of the lectures he recorded for OptimalRx in 2015 and 2016.  March’s podcast recording is centred around the topic of herbal antivirals in the treatment of emerging, re-emerging and resistant viral infections.  Stephen researched and wrote extensively on this topic, publishing several books addressing the issue of resistant pathogens, including “Herbal Antibiotics”, “Herbal Antivirals” and “Healing Lyme Disease Coinfections”.  With the recent impact of viral infections upon society, this podcast will provide invaluable education for all practitioners.Herbal Time Stamps:00:50 Emerging Viruses and Herbal Antivirals06:40 Baical Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis)12:50 Isatis (Isatis tinctoria)13:45 Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)15:10 Houttuynia (Houttuynia cordata)17:10 Elder Flower (Sambucus nigra)23:00 Ginger (Zingiber officinale)25:25 Lomatium (Lomatium dissectum)28:20 Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum)29:10 Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)29:55  Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)30:30 Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)31:25 Kudzu (Pueraria lobata)32:20 Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum)32:35 Baical Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis)33:15 Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)34:45 Cytokine Storms and Septic Shock39:00 Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis)39:30 Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)40:20 Dan Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza)40:45 Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) and Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)-- If you are a qualified practitioner and would like more information on the phytomedicines mentioned by Stephen Buhner, register/log in to the OptimalRx website to access and download free comprehensive herbal Tech Sheets: www.optimalrx.com.au-- DISCLAIMER: All information provided via OptimalRx is for educational and informational purposes only.  The information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, a substitute for independent professional advice.  Please seek the advice of a qualified health care professional in the event something you learn here raises questions or concerns regarding your health.
