68 | David Hoffmann: How to Prescribe for the Unique Individual

A look at the plethora of issues that surround the actual dispensing of herbs and ideas. This class will not discuss diagnosis. For example, should you use a tincture, fluid extract or capsule? What dose is appropriate? A time to look at all the practical questions that we rarely discuss. Today's episode is brought to you by the NorthWest Herb Symposium. I had the pleasure of attending this wonderful event a few years ago and I gotta say it's top notch. The location alone is worth the trip. It's located at the Camp Casey Conference Center in beautiful Coupeville Washington.  Next year's event, titled "Botanicals at the Beach" will be from August 23 – 26 2018. For more information you can head to NWHerbSymposium.com.
