Module Three:
Herbs for the Respiratory System


This is the third module of Steven Horne and Thomas Easley's Advanced Herbal Training Program. It will be available soon as a correspondence course or a downloadable e-course.
When it comes to treating respiratory problems, all most people want to do is suppress symptoms—make the runny nose dry up, stop the cough or force the lungs open with an inhaler. Unfortunately, this does nothing to help the respiratory system actually heal.
In this Advanced Herbal Training Program Module we discuss herbs that can actually help to cure respiratory problems. When dealing with respiratory issues, it's critical to consider biological terrain and select remedies accordingly. Are the lungs damp or dry? Are the lungs irritated or depressed? Is there constriction or relaxation? Only when you understand the biological terrain can you select the right remedies.
So, as we discuss the remedies that can help respiratory problems from ordinary coughs and sinus congestion to more serious problems asthma and allergies, and even emphysema and COPD, we help you understand how they actually affect tissues. That way you'll know when licorice or lobelia might work better than horseradish or white pine.
So, if you want to know how to help people breathe freely again, this class is for you.
