Gain an in-depth understanding of the complex functions and healing nature of more than 300 local plants through theoretical learning, herb gathering and sampling, and medicine making. Half of class time is spent hands on, in nature, with extended trips to local environments such as the Sierras and the Pacific Ocean. This is what distinguishes American herbalism—you learn about the plants in your own body, mind and spirit. You will create your own medicines during every class meeting, learning how to make extracts from multiple solutions, as well as creams and lotions, salves, teas, syrups, honey, oils, vinegars, and suppositories.
This year also involves an in-depth investigation of human physiology to understand the complex interactions among reproductive, endocrine, nervous, skin, muscular, skeletal and digestive systems. Constitutional physiology and the impact of stress are also emphasized. Students examine the cellular system and how fluid is transported throughout the body.

• The following is a partial list of what the program will cover:
• Medicinal herbology
• Herbal preparation and formulation
• Extensive materia medica and herbal research
• Herbal first aid and home health care
• Natural cosmetic and skin care
• Constitutional therapy
• Wildcrafting
• Earth awareness and plant identification
• Organ systems and physiology
• Clinical case studies

On the first Sunday of each month there will be an herb walk. There will also be three class field trips.  At the conclusion of the course, students will have a firm and well rounded foundation in herbalism. Students completing the course will be awarded a beautiful certificate suitable for framing and placement on their office wall.
