Hey sisters! I need some advice. I'm wanting to learn more about herbs and their uses. I would love to become an herbalist to where I could help family members and some friends. I've been on the website herbalhealer.com and looked at that correspondence course but I was wondering if anyone here knew of a herbal school that I learn from. I'd appreciate any help and advice. Thanks!!

Hey RoDonna... there are so many options out there... I think it depends on what you are looking for... I have taken courses via LearningHerbs.com, via 7Song (http://7song.com/), and via Rosemary Gladstar (http://www.sagemountain.com/). I am hoping to get my certification EVENTUALLY via Vintage Remedies - https://vintageremedies.com/

Hi RoDonna!
I recently subscribed to Rosemary Gladstar's home study course in herbalism. Please let me know if you end up pursuing studies in this field, maybe we can be study buddies!

Gina, I have been interested in that as well! What do you think of it? I would do the book course, not the online one.

I asked an herbalist how to study, and she said the main thing was to just DO it and use herbs in your everyday life. So I have several great books and I also enjoy the Learning Herbs site as well as the Herbarium site :) I would still like a course so I can have some more reference material.

Have you looked in to Mountain rose Herbs, its an online course pretty thorough but can be pricey

Just stumbled on this topic.
I took the correspondence course with Herbal Healer
academy few years ago learned a lot. Dr McCain is
quite knowledgeable. easy enough course to follow
and informative.
I also got half way through working on a herbalist
certification from Dominion Herbal College out of
Canada. never got to finish the last half. I may
try to do it again. will have to start from the
beginning after so long. It is a more expensive course.
It is much more intensive study than some.
There are several good places to learn from
these days more than used to be I think.

A book that is one of my main reference herbal books
Little Herb Encyclopedia by Jack Ritchason N.D.
wonderful little book! It is the one I always grab
first if I want to check on a herb.

If you want to know some info on using essential oils
this is a good pocket size book.
Quick reference guide for using essential oils
by connie and alan Higley
I use Young Living essential oils for any medicinal uses
they are the best! I know Gary Young he has been devoted
to best quality oils possible.
I also do use NOW essential oils for secondary uses, not quite as expensive.
I love using my difusser putting them into the air.

Hope this helps some. I have been my family's medicine
woman for about 30 years. Still a lot to learn. you never
stop learning!
