Do you want to know how create herbal protocols for people or to address specific conditions?

If so, here are some questions you may be wondering...

• What herbs do I need and why?
• How many herbs should I use?
• What type of herbal preparation is best?
• What dietary, lifestyle, and emotional modifications should I recommended to support a person’s healing?

In this video we bring you behind the scenes inside of an Herbal Medicine for the Soul case study call and show you our process developing a holistic protocol for gout. In addition to talking about the condition, we talk about the emotional connection to gout (through medical astrology and the chakra system) and have a robust conversation on emotional blocks and why we tolerate our negative emotions.

It’s common to start your herbal journey by trying to find herbs that address one or a few of your symptoms. This approach can work well for acute issues like colds, stomach bugs and first-aid. Yes, use elder for colds, ginger for tummy troubles, and calendula for cuts and scratches.

But when it comes to addressing a chronic concern that has multiple symptom expressions, you need to learn how to choose herbs to create formulas and provide guidance on diet, lifestyle and mindset. Without a 360-approach to healing, any gains you have with the herbs will be limited or lost if you don’t make changes to your life

Whether you’re trying to help yourself, your loved ones, or use herbal medicine in your practice, or are suffering with gout and need help, this video will illuminate the blueprint for developing a truly holistic protocol and help you choose your herbs.
