Herbal Certification Course - September 2011 

This is a great foundational course for anyone who wants to learn more about herbs.  Structured around Rosemary Gladstar's Art and Science of Herbal Medicine, it is a combination of self study and class work.  Most classes are review of course material and gives us the opportunity to explore certain subjects more in depth.  Focused in rich earth centered herbal medicine, we will also discuss naturopathic medicine techniques and organ systems as they pertain to the course work. 

Daytime/Weekend field trips and herb walks are also included as plant identification is an important aspect of herbal medicine.  Workshops are also a part of the course to give each student a better understanding of making plant medicine. 

Considered by many to be one of the finest home study courses on herbalism available in this country, The Science & Art of Herbalism offers a comprehensive overview of herbalism and prepares the student to competently and effectively use herbs for home health care. It’s an excellent introduction for the beginner/intermediate student of herbalism and gives an in-depth overview of herbalism. For the more advanced student it provides an excellent review and a solid foundation upon which to build their own studies.

The Science & Art of Herbalism guides you into the very heart of herbalism. It instills in the student both the necessary skills to practice this ancient healing art as well as a profound understanding of the spirit and essence of herbalism.

The course emphasizes:

• The Foundations of Herbalism
• Wild Plant Identification
• Medicinal Herbology
• Herbal Preparation
• Naturopathic Principles in healing
• Medicinal Formulation 
• Flower Essences 
• Organ Physiology

JJ Pursell, Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Herbalist and owner of The Herb Shoppe will be your teacher throughout the course, guiding you on your path of herbal healing.
