ROUNDTABLE: Herbal Approach to Autoimmune Support
November 18 @ 5PM Eastern – LIVE
Free for HWB Members | Suggested donation for non-members
Join Petra Sovcov as she explores natural strategies for supporting individuals with autoimmune challenges through the lens of clinical herbalism and functional wellness. Participants will gain an understanding of the pathology of inflammation and immune reactions, examining the mechanisms that drive chronic inflammatory responses and autoimmune dysfunction.
Central to the discussion is the 9 Pillars of Inflammation framework—a systematic approach to identifying potential root causes including candida/parasites, chronic stress/trauma, infections, endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, DNA repair deficiencies, chronic sensitivities, leaky gut, and nutritional deficiencies. This model provides students with a roadmap for comprehensive differential assessment and targeted formulations.
The course covers essential herbal actions and herb families specific to immune modulation, anti-inflammatory support, and tissue healing. Participants will learn to match therapeutic properties with client presentations, understanding how different herbs interact with immune pathways and inflammatory cascades.
Practical application is emphasized through formulation principles, teaching students how to create personalized herbal protocols that address multiple pillars simultaneously. The course concludes with case study review, allowing students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, analyze complex presentations, and develop evidence-based herbal support strategies for autoimmune challenges.
All attendees receive a Certificate of Completion for 1 CEU hour.
