Post-Viral Fatigue, Long Covid & Loss of Sense of Smell. Schisandra, Cordyceps, Gotu Kola & Ginseng
02/07/22 • 35 min
Let's look into Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome and how herbs can possibly help. This is for educational purposes only. Always seek medical help if needed. Long Covid can be serious and should not be left untreated. Let's look into some natural healing strategies that might be of benefit to strengthen your body! The herbs discussed apply to the recovery process after illness, especially ongoing fatigue, and are rooted in the wisdom of traditional systems like Ayurveda and TCM, or modern scientific research. We talk about adaptogens like Schisandra berry and Cordyceps which also support lung function and adaptogens that can give us our energy and stamina back, like Eleuthero, Rhodiola, and Ginseng. Gotu Kola is my favorite nervine from Ayurveda, it not only helps with brain fog and concentration but is said to restore loss of sense of smell and taste!

We can all learn so much from this!

The Perfect Bowel Movement - Herbs for Constipation, Laxatives, Fiber, Bitters and Demulcents #22
The art and science of the perfect bowel movement! Do you think you don't have constipation? Think again! Let's discuss, transit time, consistency, frequency and herbs that can help us to get regular. All disease starts in the gut, so this is a serious topic. Luckily Herbalism has all the answers and many options to create the perfect gut protocol. We discuss fibers and demulcents, like psyllium, flaxseed and dried prunes, Magnesium with its osmotic action that draws more moisture to the bowels, and herbs with a laxative or purgative action like Senna, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe, Rhubarb root, and Haritaki which is an herb from Ayurveda, part of the popular formula Triphala. These herbs act on the peristalsis of the large intestine, that's why we also call them squeezers. But there is even more to perfect digestion, like Probiotics, herbs that dispel gas and enhance our digestive fire called carminatives, bitters and non-herbal ways for a better experience on the toilet, like squatting.

How to Balance Vata Dosha and Fly High without Losing Your Mind to Anxiety and Insomnia #25
Let's dig into the Ayurvedic concept of tridosha, or Vata, Pitta and Kapha, a system of categorization based on the five elements that can help us understand our health challenges better, and keep us balanced! I use this a lot in my clinical practice as an herbalist. Today we will talk about strategies, including herbs, to keep Vata dosha in check, but this episode will be useful to Kaphas and Pittas also. Vata can "corrupt" any dosha, and it increases as we age, so we will all get our share of it eventually. Pacifying Vata, or any dosha, is a daily task for balanced health and fulfillment in life!
