Fundamentals of Herbalism
Your Journey into the Plant Path Starts Here...
Are you interested in Herbalism but overwhelmed on where to start? What books to buy, what herbs to use, what herbs do what for what, where to buy herbs, what supplies you need and how to make potent and delicious medicine for yourself?
✨ Join me for a 6 week course on Foundational Herbalism! Literally everything you'll need to begin confidently working with herbs and walking the Plant Path! ✨
When I began my herbal journey almost 10 years ago I started by teaching myself and my medicine tasted awful, my tinctures were not very potent, my syrups were bitter and my oil infusions would sometimes mold.
After going to school for Clinical Herbalism I learned all the little mistakes I was making and the subtle tweaks that shifted not only the potency of my medicine but the quality and taste as well.
With this course I have done all the work for you and am providing you with a vast Materia Medica to get you going on your Plant path with absolute ease.
In this course we will be covering:
🌿 Wildcrafting and Ethical Herbal Sourcing
