About this course

The clinical focus has been on bioavailable curcumin as the go-to herbal for any type of inflammation. This webinar asks, do willow bark and Boswellia have any clinical relevance beyond osteoarthritis, and have they even been superseded for this? Is willow bark just a type of mild herbal aspirin, with all of the side effects, but fewer of the benefits of the drug?

In his presentation, Kerry will review new experimental and clinical evidence supporting the important role of these two valuable herbs in a wide range of therapeutic challenges. In particular, new insights are explored that challenge the common assumptions about clinical uses, mechanisms of action and quality issues.

The presentation will close with the proposition that the rehabilitative potential of these two herbs is currently grossly underestimated, and then invite questions and discussions about how we can maximise their clinical potential for the benefit of our patients.
