Online

'Holistic Cancer Care: SURVIVING AND THRIVING AFTER A DIAGNOSIS' by Chanchal Cabrera. Did you miss this webinar? Purchase a video recording to listen any time Cancer rates are rising everywhere. The average adult in North America or Europe today has a 30 to 50% chance of being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. At the same time, more and more people are turning to natural medicine as part of their cancer treatment and management plan. Herbal medicine can be used to significant effect across this whole continuum to support normal metabolic functions.

Herbs can also help manage symptoms such as skin lesions or neuropathy, among other benefits, and exert direct cytotoxic anti-cancer activities. In this way, herbal medicine plays a key role in the practice of holistic oncology. Some of these approaches require professional guidance from a qualified herbalist, but the patients themselves can do a lot at home. From choosing specific foods for their anti-cancer actions to making your tea blends for managing symptoms of chemo to increasing the benefits of radiotherapy with specific supplements, herbal medicine can be used by all cancer patients to promote wellness […]

Online

Explore nature’s bounty through the art and science of crafting tree-based and herbal medicinals — known by ancient healers to contain compounds that can treat the whole being — to thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Herbal products are well known as remedies for treating disease and maintaining our health. Most people think of herbs, plants, and flowers when they seek out herbal remedies. But what about trees? According to distinguished medical herbalist Chanchal Cabrera, a specialist in holistic health who emphasizes the importance of empowering people to explore natural healing options, trees are so much more than providers of shade; they are living chemists! What’s so remarkable about trees and their healing properties is their ability to synthesize a vast array of bioactive compounds. They produce substances like tannins, flavonoids, and essential oils that have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, capable of addressing a multitude of health conditions and issues. For example, the resin from pine trees can be used to treat wounds and respiratory issues, while the leaves of the neem tree have been employed in traditional medicine to combat infections and boost immunity. The character of trees can also have a powerful effect on our health. Their longevity and resilience symbolize endurance and recovery, offering not only […]
