VIRTUAL HERBALISM CONFERENCE - DAY 3

Seasonal Herbal Strategies for Immune Support with Pamela Spence

Explore herbal strategies for seasonal immune support with Pamela Spence, a UK-based medical herbalist, Lead Herbalist Educator at the Herbal Academy, and herbal product developer for global brands including Twinings. In this session, Pamela shares practical, evidence-informed approaches to adapt herbal protocols to the changing seasons, supporting resilience, immunity, and overall well-being. Drawing on her thriving clinical practice and years of teaching, she offers insights how we can navigate the changing seasons and our herbal protocols to guide our seasonal herbal practice with confidence.

Discussion Highlights:

  • How the immune system shifts across the year and tailoring protocols accordingly
  • Seasonal immune protocols and key herbs for resilience for autumn, winter, spring, and summer
  • Approaches to autoimmunity with seasonal adjustments
  • Integrating medicinal mushrooms as daily tonics or targeted protocols and preferred preparations
  • Distinguishing between immune modulation and stimulation and herbal approaches to each
  • Acute versus chronic immune support and preferred herbs for each
  • Supporting immunity via the gut–immune axis
  • Areas of caution when using immune herbs

Pamela has been fascinated by herbs since growing up surrounded by the fragrant wet markets of Singapore as a teenager. After a hectic career in film and television, she left to study herbal medicine in 2002 and has been running a successful clinical practice, writing, and teaching about herbs ever since. Pamela is often spotted in the media, including her own BBC online series, Hello!, Women & Home, Financial Times, The Telegraph, and more. She has taught around the world, helping connect people to their local plants, as well as formal training for a new generation of medical herbalists, helping establish the Betonica School of Herbal Medicine in the UK. She is also a Lead Herbalist Educator at the Herbal Academy.

Pamela has been the Twinings Herbal Expert since 2016, advising on new herbal products for the global market and helping design the hugely successful Superblends range since its inception. Pamela’s product development agency, Plant Potential, has supported many start-ups and she is currently sole herbalist advising Sofi and GutSmart bringing products to market.
