  • Detoxifying the Body: The Clinical Use of Alteratives, Depuratives and Antidyscratics

Speaker: David Winston, RH (AHG) The concept of an alterative was a very prominent part of western medicine up until the early 20th century. Even though alteratives were dropped from western medicine, their use still persists as an important part of herbal medicine. These herbs enhance normal eliminatory functioning via the major eliminatory organs, thus allowing the body to function more effectively even on a cellular level. Come join us as we learn about the most important alterative herbs, the differences between alteratives and antidyscratics, and how they can be used to promote healthy elimination of metabolic wastes to maintain health. Their use in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, arthritis, skin problems and autoimmune conditions is included.
