Herbal Fundamentals
Description:

Do you learn more from practical demos and seeing how herbal medicines are actually made? In this interactive course, you’ll learn to use a variety of medicinal herbs to make herbal preparations. You’ll learn basic Western herb theory, simpling, medicinal plant identification and more. Includes making and using medicinal herb teas, herbal extracts, tinctures, powdering herbs, oil extractions, emulsions (lotion and cream making), introduction to active principles of healing plants, obtaining and storing herbs, and sources for organically grown and wildcrafted herbs.

Please note:  this is an experiential learning class so you will be asked to participate in healthy dietary experiences as part of the required homework. Our goal is not just that you learn something, but that you experience a shift in your own health.
