We were lucky enough to have Dr. Tieraona Low Dog share her wisdom around plant medicine for stress management a few years ago, and we are sharing excerpts from a lecture she recorded for OptimalRx in 2017. In this podcast recording, you will hear Dr. Tieraona Low Dog discuss the use of herbal nervines in the management of stress. Dr. Tieraona Low Dog imparts her extensive clinical experience, outlining individual herbal nervines, specifically nervine tonics and nervine relaxants. Each plant nervine tends to suit a particular symptom profile and personality picture, and understanding this helps practitioners prescribe the most suitable nervine for their patients. Paired with herbal adaptogens, herbal nervines provide invaluable support to busy individuals by improving their resilience to stress, supporting their nervous system function and structure, and supporting their ability to adapt appropriately to life’s stressors.This is an invaluable podcast for all practitioners, one that will enhance your knowledge and use of herbal nervines.
