One of the biggest mistakes people make when treating acute infections with herbs is not taking them frequently enough.
When it comes to herbal protocols, there are two key factors: dosage and frequency. Both matter.
Many people take a formula a few times a day and expect rapid results, but herbs don't typically work like antibiotics. While the right herbs may help ease symptoms relatively quickly, resolving an infection often requires consistent dosing over several days.
Successful herbal protocols aren't just about choosing the right herbs—they're also about taking them often enough and staying consistent.

![Everyone Gets This Wrong About Ginkgo
Ginkgo is one of the world’s most recognizable herbal supplements, but many of the claims surrounding it are based on misunderstandings of its history and traditional use. Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism discusses why the modern use of Ginkgo is different from the ancient medicine many people believe it to be, and why that matters.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-Why Ginkgo leaf is not an ancient herbal medicine, despite its reputation
-How Ginkgo nut was traditionally used in Chinese medicine and how it differs from the modern extract
-The history of the standardized Ginkgo extract (EGb 761) and why nearly all research is based on it
-The three primary actions of Ginkgo extract: circulatory stimulation, neuroprotection, and nootropic effects
-Why understanding the difference between whole Ginkgo leaf and concentrated extracts is essential for herbalists
