TOPIC: Su Wen Herbs Pharmacology, Dosage and Herb Safety Lecture
With Dr. Anthony Booker  – Su Wen Herbs
Read Anthony Booker’s bio

The question of good practice in using standardised herbal formulas must be paramount in the mind of practitioners. This educational lecture for both students and practitioners on herbs and standardised herbal formulas strives to demystify terms such as ‘concentration ratio’ and others and lays a foundation of what constitutes best practice in terms of safety and quality controls.

The lecture will cover:

• an introduction to the pharmacokinetics of drugs and how drugs and herbal compounds, are absorbed, metabolized and excreted;
• the differences between herbal formulas and drugs;
• the issue of safety of Chinese herbs, and interactions between Chinese herbs and Western drugs;
• guidelines for the safe use of standardised herbal formulas.
