Description
All across the world, clinical herbalists spend their days sharing time-tested herbal wisdom with their clients and communities. Some herbalists also formulate custom products for their clients—carefully blending, measuring, and infusing the perfect herbal recipes. Others may feel called to specialize in a specific client group, like women or aging adults, or to focus on a specific area of wellness, like digestive health or hormonal support. Perhaps you’ll choose not to work with clients at all, but rather to pour your passion into developing a unique herbal product line, opening an herb store, or teaching the next generation of aspiring herbalists.
There are many roads you can take when becoming a professional herbalist, but all of them require an in-depth understanding of the plants you will use.
We hope you’re ready to dig in and truly transform your understanding of ancient herbal knowledge combined with modern science because this is our most extensive and robust online herbalism path! When you’re finished with this clinical herbalist course package, you will be well on your way to having the advanced level education needed to become a well-trained, practicing herbalist and share your unique gifts with the world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of certificate will I receive and will I be a certified herbalist?
Upon completion of any of our foundational courses, you’ll receive a certificate of completion suitable for framing that states you’ve completed the course under the direction of the Herbal Academy. You will receive a certificate after successfully completing each individual course.
Note that because the field of herbalism is not officially regulated by any specific set of standards or governing bodies in the United States, certification is a tricky subject. While one can study in herbalism courses for a certificate of completion, one cannot become a “certified herbalist.” We discuss this topic in this article, which you may find helpful: https://theherbalacademy.com/can-you-really-become-a-certified-herbalist/
The practice of herbalism in the United States is protected by the first amendment right to free speech. An herbalist cannot treat, cure, diagnose, prescribe, or see patients, instead, they can educate clients about dietary and lifestyle habits and make suggestions for herbs that will help balance the body and support wellness.
After taking this course, can I become a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild (AHG)?
Our courses will provide study hours on such foundational topics as history and herbal traditions, materia medica, botany, anatomy and physiology, herbal therapeutics, and practice management that are required educational topics for becoming an AHG Registered Herbalist. See AHG’s recommended areas of study here: https://www.americanherbalistsguild.com/herbal_education
Depending on how extensive the student’s herbal background is, additional advanced training hours may likely be needed to fulfill the AHG requirement of 800 study hours. In addition, students need to seek out 400 hours of hands-on training under the guidance of an experienced herbalist or mentoring program to gain the clinical experience needed. Of course, the AHG review process will evaluate a student’s proficiency in herbalism, including a working knowledge of an extensive materia medica as well as case studies gained through hands-on experience, and is not just based on study hours. You can read more about the AHG requirements, including their two-step application process and the detailed requirements for both steps, here: http://www.americanherbalistsguild.com/becoming-ahg-professional-member
