In this new episode, Dr. George Lamoureux discusses the “go-to” herb for the immune system: Astragalus. In this recording you will learn that the two primary organs associated with Astragalus are the Spleen and Lungs –which makes this herb a super Qi tonic—but what does all that really mean? If you have a Qi imbalance that Astragalus might help tonify, how would you know?

Have you noticed that there are actually two different types of Astragalus on the market? There is raw Astragalus and prepared or cooked Astragalus. What is the difference in these two preparation styles? Do they affect the body differently? When should you take Astragalus and is there ever a time to NOT take it?

Finally, there is research that supports the longevity aspect of this powerful herb, and some products that are commercially available isolate some of these active ingredients that have been identified as key contributors to these beneficial effects.

Find out what Jing Herbs position is on whole herbs vs. isolates in such formulas. All these questions and more are addressed in this episode…

In this episode, Dr. George delves deeply into the foundations of the Chinese herbology system.

Do you get confused about the difference between superior herbs, inferior herbs and harmonizing herbs?

What is it about an herb which makes it belong to each category, particularly as it relates to its therapeutic value, potential side effects, how long to use it, and its potential to affect one or more of the Three Treasures ?

Have you ever wondered about all the associations related to the 5 organ systems, such as taste, etc?

Herbs have different energetics and energetic effects on our bodies. Some herbs push energy out while others draw it in.

The energetics of an herb are incredibly important in understanding the role it plays in balancing energy in the body and ultimately creating optimal health.

In addition to offering a strong overview of all these topics we also give a list of resources for those who want to explore these ideas further. Check it out and listen now!
