It has been said that the journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step. If you are here, then congratulations because that means you have already taken your first step towards learning what plant medicine is all about. And just like any time first steps are taken, it is much easier to learn when someone is there to guide you. We are delighted to walk beside you while you begin your herbal journey, to help you and lead you so you get the most out of your experience!
Perhaps you found your way here because you’ve been wondering about all those beautiful green weeds growing along roads and in your backyard. Ancient wisdom and natural beauty has been tugging at your heart, and you’re naturally curious about how you can integrate them into your life. You don’t need someone pushing you to learn, and the knowledge you gain is its own reward. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when you can directly apply that knowledge to your life, and live happier and healthier.
The Introductory Herbal Course is your online self study program!
Our intention for this self study program is to give those of you with no herbal experience a glimpse into the world of herbs, and to kindle your enthusiasm for a lifelong course of learning. While this intro-level class does not qualify you to practice clinical herbalism, by the end of our course we hope you will feel more comfortable AND excited about making your own teas, tinctures, and body care products. You’ll be mixing up new recipes in the kitchen, using spices and herbs you never knew had medicinal properties! You will walk away more inspired to pursue your herbal studies at the intermediate level and beyond!

Curriculum
In this herbalism beginners course you will learn why herbs are important and how to use them in healing teas, tinctures, and body care products. We’ll discuss some common discomforts, herbal actions, and dosing. Because stress is such a prevalent factor in our overall well-being, we’ll talk a bit about the nervous system and why a calm, strong nervous system can lay the foundation for better health.
While we recommend spending at least one month of serious study in each unit, students have the ability to work at their own pace towards completion of the course. However, students can spend more or less time in each unit. Students will have access to the online portion of the program for nine months. Each of the units and lessons, recipes, charts, and ebooks are available to download and print so students can continue to use these resources even after completion of the course.
