THIS IS A RECORDED WEBINAR
In this 10 part series, major and common problems in men’s health, urological health, and kidney health will be addressed in depth. With Dr. Yarnell’s 15 years of clinical experience in the areas of urology and nephrology as a guide, the herbal approaches to these conditions will be presented. Specific case examples will be provided regularly. The emphasis will be on determining who is a good candidate for herbal therapies in each case, clinically-effective first-line herbal treatments, making decisions if first-line treatments fail, and individualizing herbal therapies to complex patients. A richer understanding of the etiopathophysiology of each condition from a naturopathic perspective will be used to illustrate why certain herbs work and others don’t. Appropriate dosing will be discussed and safe use of indicated low-dose herbs will be included. Drug-herb interactions (mostly positive, a small number negative) will be pointed out where relevant.
Erectile dysfunction is a symptom, and the various potential causes of it will be discussed along with the basics of how to differentially diagnose them. Herbal approaches to address the symptom of ED along with the importance of treating the causes will be presented. Particular attention will be paid to disorders of libido, which are highly amenable to herbal treatment in men and women. Vascular ED will also be discussed in some depth along with herbal and dietary approaches to it. A few tricks for endocrine and neurological ED will also be presented. Case studies will highlight key points.
Premature ejaculation is a very common condition frequently not discussed by anyone. Ways to bring up the subject and how to take a sexual history in general will be discussed. Herbal approaches to alleviating premature ejaculation will be presented.
