Summer Series - Phytomedicine Wisdom from the Masters – Dr. Tieraona Low Dog: Stress Management Part 1: Adaptogens

Tech Talk with OptimalRx

Dr. Tieraona Low Dog is an American herbalist, educator, author, researcher, and medical doctor, who seeks to connect people to the medicine and magic already present in their bodies and lives. We were lucky enough to have Dr. Tieraona Low Dog share her wisdom around plant medicine for stress management a few years ago, and we are sharing excerpts from a lecture she recorded for OptimalRx in 2016. In this podcast recording, you will hear Dr. Tieraona Low Dog discuss the use of herbal adaptogens in the management of stress, incorporating her extensive clinical experience. Each plant adaptogen tends to suit a particular symptom profile and personality picture, and understanding this helps practitioners prescribe the most suitable adaptogen for their patients. Dr. Tieraona Low Dog helps us to understand the role stress plays in the pathophysiology of disease and how herbal adaptogens provide invaluable support to busy individuals by improving their resilience and providing them with the ability to adapt appropriately to life’s stressors. This is an invaluable podcast for all practitioners, one that will enhance your knowledge and use of herbal adaptogens.
