Home and Family Herbcraft: Introductory Certificate Program

Description

Home and Family Herbcraft
So you want to be a herbalist? Come learn how to harvest, prepare and use herbs for wellness and first aid. This introductory program is great for those who are just starting to “get their hands dirty” with herbalism.   Our main goals are to get you familiarized with everything herbalists need to know to use herbs at home with their family.  There are no prerequisites and you do not need to have any prior training in herbal medicine.  You may either take the program to use as a family herbalist or use it to prepare to  enter our more in depth programs such as the intermediate Community Herbcraft or advanced Clinical Herbcraft.   This course can be completed in 3 months, and we also offer a hybrid, condensed program that is 1/2 online for those coming from out of town.  3 month program, 95 hours
