主題:Digestive Vitality and Health
主講:Thomas Easley RH (AHG)
Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, is widely credited with saying “all disease begins in the gut.” Take a deep dive with Thomas Easley, RN (AHG) as he shows how vitally important the digestive system is to overall health, because it's where we take our environment in to us to eventually become more us.
In This Session You'll Discover:
- The physiology of the gut
- The gut's role in building health
- Herbs and herbal actions to support digestive vitality
- gut health and digestive issues 是herbalist很重要的一環。
- gut is essential/foundation of human health. 你不能選擇要不要呼吸,但你可以選擇吃什麼東西進來。我們選擇要放哪些外面的東西進來身體裡面。吃進來變成自己的一部份。
- gut problem 跟 nutrient deficiency 之間有關連
- bacteria/fungi in your gut 一起工作。microbiome is one of the major training ground of our immune system. can't get to full development of T cells in a sterile gut (animal studies have shown.) an entire branch of our adaptive immune system is dependent upon cytokines release from the interaction between our microbiota and your immune system.
- 腸道菌叢+營養素+神經系統+免疫系統,關係密切。非單向,而是多個雙向交錯連結,互相連結。
- 火 digestive fire: the process of consumption, as the breakdown of food into base components
- 水 process of fluid (mucosa, movement of nutrients).
- 風 process of air: neurological coordination of all the actions
- 土 earth element, the structure element as the actual physical cells and barriers
- 身體組織是土元素,當中承載火、水、風等元素。
- 藥草可以同時輔助多種元素。例如 bitter herbs,吃起來苦,因為味蕾嚐到苦味,往下進入體內,經過肺臟進入消化道,體內組織也有各種受器,消化道內有類似 bitter receptors,讓消化過程變慢,消化比較完整。the digestive phase is predominantly where you get hydrochloric acid released from the gastric parietal cells, and you get pepsinogen release, which is then turned into pepsin because of the hydrochloric acid. 蛋白質與有害物質一起進入人體,但如果吃bitters消化速度變慢,增加胃酸分泌,等完整消化完畢,才會進入膽汁分泌與其他酵素釋放的過程。bitters 支援的是消化道的火。Thomas 最喜歡的是他自己有種植的 arugula, radicchio, dandelion, orange peel 等都很有效。
- aromatics, 驅風(消脹氣)類型的藥草對消化系統的神經有強烈作用,食物進入十二指腸之後,大腦(中樞)神經系統失去控制,交給 enteric nervous system(自律神經系統的一部份)。苦中帶香氣的藥物,功能也多重,例如歐白芷 angelica,苦味的刺激,又可改善腸道神經的控制。
- Demulcent類型藥草,支援「水」元素相關的功能,照顧黏膜與黏液的部分。
- earth element 的藥草,triphala 經典的阿育吠陀藥草,功效獨特。
- 所以照顧腸胃道,選擇苦味藥草與驅風藥草,再考量管理「水」相關的藥草就很全面。
- 有腸胃問題的個案進來,你的流程是什麼?從消化生理學途徑+功能拆解去找。例如個案進來說吃含澱粉餐後一小時就會脹氣,生理學上食物需要4小時能穿過離開胃,水很快,澱粉1小時,所以症狀與澱粉的次級分解物有關。所以要看唾液功能分泌正常否,口腔健康嗎,吃飯速度很快嗎?吃的澱粉類食物是要組嚼的還是用喝的。澱粉在胃裡面經過初步消化接下來進入十二指腸,有胰液的協助繼續消化,那個案有沒有什麼胰液/胰臟相關不足的症狀。蠕動peristalsis 的時間看起來如何?因為澱粉消化時間一小時,那個部分的小腸不太可能有什麼細菌相關的問題,pathology paradigm 例如功能醫學可能直直接跳過這些,覺得看起來類似小腸細菌過度滋生的問題,直接做 hydrogen-methane 呼氣測試。但這樣可能忽略消化過程中的其他問題。
- building health vs. treating disease,兩者都很重要。但很容易把焦點放在疾病處理上面
- 如果有明顯的病理徵兆,這樣處理沒有問題,而且很有效率,尤其是急性症狀。
- What are your favorite plants to treat the gut? 我偏好使用具有雙重功能的藥草,直接或間接調節腸道的 nervines類型。 wood betony to strengthen the enteric nervous system. Stachys(水蘇屬植物), not Pedicularis(馬先蒿)。很少人知道但是對腸道非常好。.泡茶很好喝,製作酊劑、水性的萃取,甘油萃取。很適合作為腸道處理基礎。
- Catnip,含有 valerenic acid,消脹氣。抗痙攣,乾燥的過程氣味揮發很快,所以如果正在痙攣的話,新鮮的比較有效。
- 薰衣草對腸道非常好,是很好的 bitter植物。苦味適合腸道,芳香分子也作用在調節腸道的神經上,affect circulation to the villi and microvilli。透過促循環幫助「袪風」,腸道內的氣體透過身體循環排出。a single plant as a synergy:單一藥草薰衣草就可以達到三個功能:苦藥、袪風、神經調理(促循環)。
- 喝完茶後,要繼續觀察幾個小時,一天,感覺對身體產生什麼影響。
- gentle doesn't mean weak.
- 長期用溫和藥效的藥草,效果會比高劑量短期使用來得好。
- leaky gut syndrome,每個人都有,某種程度的 permeability,讓東西流到淋巴管裡面,但要有選擇性。
- enterocytes 腸細胞之間有門是一種類似賀爾蒙的胜肽叫做 zonulin,每個人身體都會製造,但有人過量。有 celiac disease 的人,體內 zonulin 濃度比較高,腸道發炎的人,還有IBS的人也是。Vitamin D deficiency can lead to tight junction dysfunction in the gut. that and elevated zonulin levels,這些都是小腸 hyperpermeability 的主要原因。也有可能是腸細胞本身就受損,所以細胞間溝通路徑也被破壞。長期服用 NSAIDS,類固醇或酒精的人。想成像是身體內部被曬傷的感覺。跟處理皮膚曬傷一樣用 demulcents and vulneraries 來處理。不用藥不喝酒的人也有可能發生,原因可能是壓力、長期疼痛、例如燒傷病患,也容易有小腸穿透性的問題。用 marshmallow, plantain and calendula,結合 demulcent 和 vulneraries 一起來處理。但每個人的症狀/冤因不同,有些人可能需要增加 digestive fire,可能需要腸神經功能調節。把整個生理流程解析釐清找出問題點。
- Intake 時問的那些問題很重要,可以告訴我們很多事情。
- i think for much of human history, everybody was an herbalist. every home had their favorite remedies. Family Herbalism.如果教育可以朝向讓人對身體的理解比較偏向 holistic viewpoint,從家庭開始的藥草醫學。小病不用找herbalist,家裡有洋蔥就做點洋蔥糖漿、百里香蒸氣浴或泡茶喝。如果發燒超過105度了,那趕快去醫院看醫生。其許多一些人都能理解自己的身體如何運作,知道自己可以如何照顧自己。希望社區可以有藥草師,也知道自己的能力跟侷限,知道如何處理個案,也知道何時要轉介醫院。layers of public health, home, community support, community clinician.等等。
