Toxicity and Safe Use of Herbs - Continuing Education for TCM Practitioners

Speaker: Dr.Libang Zhang, L.Ac
Date & Time: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM, Sun, 10/31/2010
NCCAOM PDA Points: 4

Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced vitally for 5000 years up to today, and has accumulated tremendous experience records and literature. Updating its safe use information with modern scientific language is an urgent task for all of us in order to insure the safe use of Chinese herbs and to be accepted by the main stream of medical society. Although the main stream doesn't let Chinese herb practitioners claim any therapeutic effect for any disease, it's very clear that the herbs are taken by patients and act on living systems for their treatment purpose. The safe use and understanding of any adverse effects are extremely important for us.

Chinese herbs are in general less toxic and safer than chemical drugs, since they were used for more than 5000 years. But they are by no means free from toxicity. There are a number of potent and strong herbs that are rather toxic when overdosed or improperly processed. To learn the safe use of herbs you must understand Chinese medicine theory well and know the basic toxicology expressed in  modern scientific term including physiology, pathology and pharmacology. .Some issues are of concern about the safety of Chinese herbs will be addressed in the seminar. 

  • Kidney damage from slimming treatment in Belgium
  • Ma Huang (ephedrea) on the market.
  • Herb blood thinner and surgery
  • Interaction with medicine

Discussion

  • Kidney damage from slimming treatment in Belgium
