Advanced Home Herbalist

This series is intended as the next level after the 'Become A Home Herbalist' program. The next phase comes in learning the proper use of these magnificent preparations you have created. Just learning the foundational part of making herbal preparations can be a bit overwhelming, but as you learn the ins and the outs of the plant properties and how they relate to the body systems, you will build your confidence in the everyday use of local plants as medicine. This class will do just that – Give you the extra boost you need to be assured that you are using the plant medicines the way they were intended!

The 18-hour course is designed to compliment your current background information that you have gained in the past nine months. Classes continue on into the winter months of January-April, so that you can keep your momentum from the previous growing and harvest season. You will learn specific herbs for the organ systems, tongue and facial analysis, organ system emotional relationships, how to pick out specific herbs for an individual’s unique condition and so much more.
