While pharmaceuticals are traditionally the "go-to" solution, vulnerary herbs offer often overlooked power as effective natural allies against long COVID, inflammation, and cellular repair challenges.
In this episode, Dr. Jill Crista and Dr. Nafysa Parpia weave through the intricate relationship between these healing plants and the body's epithelial cells—those crucial barriers lining our respiratory tract, digestive system, and blood vessels—revealing how these botanical allies promote cell turnover, reduce hypercoagulability, and enhance lymphatic flow when conventional treatments fall short.
Dr. Crista shares her success using plantain, red clover, cleavers, and nettles to help patients with long COVID and mold-related chronic fatigue. Her approach combines traditional herbal knowledge with a modern understanding of viral resistance, offering options for those suffering from persistent symptoms long after their initial infection.
