A Practitioner’s Guide to Topical Herbal Remedies

Описание: What do you think of when you hear “topical herbs”? Chances are, you think about putting herbs on your skin, perhaps in the form of creams, salves, or poultices.

But this is only one type of topical application.

In herbal medicine, topical use is much broader than applying medicine to the skin (though this is also a critical treatment). Any time an herb comes into direct contact with the tissue it’s meant to treat—whether the skin, or the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract or digestive tract—it is acting topically.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this post:

-The broader definition of topical application, beyond application to the skin

-How herbs act topically in the respiratory tract, digestive system, female reproductive system, and on the skin

-Key herbal actions like vulnerary, antimicrobial, demulcent, and more for topical use

-Preparations for topical use, such as poultices, infused oils, liniments, and medicated neti pots

-Recommended herbs for each organ system and their unique roles in healing

-Important cautions and considerations for using topical herbal remedies safely
