Detox – we hear the word bandied about in the media every day – there’s a new detox diet, a new juice, smoothie, or product. Women are especially concerned about detox because it’s promoted as the best way to get and keep our hormones in balance. So what is detox? Do our bodies do it naturally? Can and should we be augmenting that process? And what is the specific value of detox for women’s hormonal health? Get the answers to these questions, and learn the most effective and safest botanical tools for detoxification with Dr. Aviva Romm, a midwife, herbalist, and Yale-trained medical doctor specializing in Functional and Botanical Medicine for Women’s Health. We will discuss supplements, botanical foods, and botanical medicines including foods in and extracts from the Brassicacae family, flax seed, turmeric, quercetin, green tea, milk thistle, calcium D-glucarate, pomegranate, flavonoids, and more.
