The Cytokine Connection to Sleep Disorders with Dr. Mary Bove, ND
March 11, 2014 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Gaia Herbs Professional Solutions FREE Webinar
Cytokines are proteins acting as neuro-immune modulators, some which help promote sleep and some that can promote sleep disruption. Specific cytokines stimulated by chronic infection and inflammation, or with persistent stress, lead to sleep disruption and sleep disorders. Long-term lack of sleep increases the risk of many chronic health concerns, which are linked to cytokine imbalance.
Botanical therapeutics involves a multifaceted approach focusing on modulating cytokines, neurotransmitters, addressing inflammation, and supporting the immune system, using a combination of anti-inflammatory herbs, nervines, and adaptogenic herbs.*
