Addressing Neuroinflammation

Functional Herbal Strategies for Optimal Brain Health

  • The health impact and drivers of neuroinflammation
  • The relationship between gut health and neuroinflammation
  • A focus on the role of neuroinflammation in mood challenges
  • The relationship between neuroinflammation and neuroplasticity and key herbs to influence this
  • An important clinical trial
