In this episode, renowned herbalist Professor Kerry Bone explores the many faces of inflammation and how to prescribe herbal medicine with clinical precision. From acute to chronic presentations and system-specific patterns—including neuroinflammation—Kerry outlines how different herbal strategies can be applied based on the underlying drivers of inflammation.
He also challenges common misconceptions about well-known herbs. Highlighting willow bark as a prime example, Kerry explains its nuanced mechanism of action and why it shouldn't be confined to musculoskeletal prescriptions alone. Practitioners will come away with a deeper understanding of how to approach inflammation across body systems—and how to choose the right herbs for the right context.
