We’ve all been in or know someone who has been in uncomfortable situations when the process of digestion has been involved. Wouldn't it be nice not only to get some relief but also to help aid the body in navigating this issue long-term?

In "Herbs for Digestion and GI Health", Matthew and Phyllis illustrate long-lasting solutions by looking at how the issues present themselves and finding specific herbs that get at the heart (or the “gut”) of the matter in this two-day class.

Matthew and Phyllis team up to give an in-depth look at digestion and the gastrointestinal tract. From chewing to elimination, and everything in between. You get an overview of:

  • The four types of processes involved in digestion
  • An holistic “tour” through each organ or system involved in digestion
  • The tissue state presentation of digestion: organs that are too hot, cold damp, dry, tense, or relaxed
  • Herbs that assist each digestive process, based on how they present themselves
  • Matthew and Phyllis also cover gallbladder issues, since there is overlap and coordination between the digestion and bile.
