Connecting with the plants, deepening your understanding of health and filling your pantry with home remedies.
The course follows the seasons; the seminars underpinning your knowledge of your body and how the herbs interact to treat common conditions, starting with the gut microbiome and digestive issues, using available plants such as dandelion and other bitters. Then we look at the lungs and immunity: coughs and colds, thyme and echinacea. Leading on to stress and anxiety, we understand how the body reacts and how the use herbs to re-balance using herbs such a oats, lemon balm and lavender. We look deeper, at cellular level; the lymph and circulatory system and how to affect this with herbs such as burdock and cleavers. At each stage there is the opportunity to undertake assignments for which you can then graduate at a higher level of distinction, should you wish to take your learning further.
