Herbalism in the Home
There is no more fun way to learn the true value of herbs than to grow your own. In this course you will Design and Develop your own Herb Garden, then choose the most appropriate plants to help maintain your health and utilize Natures Healing Agents for many other interesting, beneficial purposes while you do your bit to help repair our wonderful planet.
Because there are so many aspects to the Study of Herbalism we have arranged the course into seven individual sections. You do not have to do them all, and you can do them in any order, to those who manage to undertake at least six sections we do award a Herbalism in the Home Certificate.
Please note this is not a professional course. Unlike similar courses, we are not affiliated with any school or college so there are no exams, pressures or time limits, you can undertake your studies in your own time at your own leisure.
The course has been separated into seven separate sections but they can be purchased as one if desired. The cost is $75 per section, or $475 for all seven.
Please specify if you require the course via email or via post.

Note: Common sense teaches that we cannot abandon life saving drugs in favour of herbs. Natural remedies are to be used as a preventative or adjunct to orthodox medicines. Never say 'It's them or us' but rather 'Let's all work together for the benefit of the patient.'
