Self Care to Community Care: Beginner's Botanical Medicine

Course Overview

Do you want to be more self-sustainable with your health care and home? Perhaps you have dipped your toes into the deep waters of herbalism and you are ready to learn more? Combine the intuitive art and solid science of botanical medicine, apprenticing with a Master Herbalist for an intensive weekend. Core components include: foundations in natural and botanical medicine; cross-cultural herbalism; herbs for the life cycle; top 20 herbs in North America; and botanicals not only for physical health but for contemporary life stressors such as anxiety, depression, environmental factors, and stress. Students will learn to create their own herbal apothecary and take home handcrafted preparations including teas, tinctures, lotions, oils, and flower essences. This course is a certificate-level course and a prerequisite for those who desire to pursue a future Master Herbalism Program.
