Synergy: The Key to Effective Herbal Practice with David Winston RH (AHG)
Friday, May 22, 2026
In all the world’s great herbal traditions, the use of single herbs (simples) is virtually unknown. Complex formulas are most often used and are if properly formulated significantly more effective than individual remedies. With classic traditional formulas there are clear strategies to create a mixture that is more than the sum of its parts (1 + 1 = 3, 4 or 5). There are multiple ways to create synergy and avoid antagonism (1 + 1 = 1).
In this Focus Session, we will look at the concepts and techniques used in TCM, Ayurveda, Unani-tibb, Physiomedicalism, Eclectic Medicine, Siddha and Western herbal practice that allows the clinician to achieve superior results and repeated clinical success.
Focus Session: Clinical Skills Workshop
Client Capacity, Implementing Change, and the Art of Collaborative Protocol Creation with Cameron Strouss, B.S., RH (AHG), FH, Aromatherapist
Tuesday, June 23, 2026
6:00pm – 7:30pm ET / 3:00pm – 4:30pm PT
The most clinically sound protocol means nothing if a client can’t digest it, integrate it, and implement it. This Focus Session explores the gap between what we think clients might need and what is logistically workable in their lives — and how practitioners can design protocols collaboratively with this in mind.
Through the frameworks of capacity assessment, behavior replacement, phased protocols, and client/practitioner collaborative care, in this Focus Session, we’ll hash out how to more effectively meet clients in their lives rather than inside of our clinical ideal. Practitioners will leave with a toolkit for designing recommendations that are honest, sustainable, and workable for their clients.
