Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on July 13, 2026 - 1:30am IST. We are going to be recording three episodes of the Sperbs Herbs podcast. The first covers another herb of the world, Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), reported to be useful in treating colds. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) from herbs that tonify the qi category and also useful in European herbology. Our third episode looks at a very important Chinese herbal formula: Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) in the interesting category of formulas that clear qi-level heat. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula. The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
