*For Herbal Medicine Practitioners and herbs students who have completed biomed
Always respected and often feared, the alkaloids are among the most pharmacologically active plant constituents. Many poisonous or hallucinogenic herbs are rich in active alkaloids and most of our schedule III herbs contain active alkaloids e.g. Atropa, Aconitum, Gelsemium. They are powerful, effective and very effective medicines and also sometimes scary to use.
This wide ranging review of materia medica will explore a great diversity of medicinal and psychoactive herbs, united in their chemistry and potential toxicities, but very varied in their clinical effects. These herbs are the ‘effectors’ in a formula, targeted to specific actions and outcomes, they require carefully calibrated dosing schedules and understanding of side effects, contra-indications and drug interactions. Through a deep discussion of the pharmacology, dosing and toxicology, ritual uses and ethnobotanical uses, we will learn how to use strong herbs respectfully, safely and effectively.
This is a practical and informative series, using examples and applications drawn from over 28 years of practice. It is geared towards practitioners and advanced students and is intended to give you tools for your clinical practice.
