Tonic Herbalism Through the Eyes of the Cell (Audio)

The following audio presentation was recorded live at the 14th International Herb Symposium, June 2019.

Herbalism’s “tonics” are unique in medicine. Explore the biochemical dance that takes place in every cell of our bodies to help DNA become a living organism, and how four types of molecules from plants and mushrooms fit in. We’ll cover alkyl-phenols, polyphenols, triterpenes, and isothiocyanates as regulators of gene expression. We’ll discover that plants have been shaping our epigenetic landscape since before we were human – and that what we call “tonics” coordinate pervasive and foundational processes inside us all.
