The pre requisite for this course is obviously the Introductory Herbal Course. 

To me, Herbs are a source of healing and enhancement on many levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. They contain many vitamins, minerals, nutrients, hormones and chemicals which our bodies can utilise and have receptor sites for . In this course we will be looking at herbs in depth, basically Materia Medica (a Latin medical term for the body of collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of any substance used for healing, what we would call a drug) 

This course is designed to give you an in depth understanding of specific herbs, the energetics of the herbs and their properties. This course is very detailed. You will also learn how to make Flower Essences. 

We will be looking at the way to use the herbs in a practical sense, how I use them and perceive them to act on the Human body, emotions and psyche. We also will be working with the plant spirits and energies. We also do case studies every week from week 4 on. This is so you get a better understanding of how to address disease states with Herbal medicines. 

This course is also life changing and not for the Faint Hearted.

Ancient. Herbalists were  also known as Apothecary’s  .

This course will introduce you to the wonderful and fascinating world of herbs. If you were thinking of doing a TAFE course, this private course will be a great Adjunct. 

This course is designed to give you a good grounding in herbs for home use. We will be covering different body systems and the herbs relating to those systems, and the common  aliments that affect each Body System. We  explore the emotional issues relating to each body system as well .

We will also be looking at herbal terminology, specific herbs and their properties. Plus we will be covering the spiritual & majikal uses of herbs as well as learning Herb identification. There is also a manufacturing component in this course where you will learn the art of brewing herbal concoctions for health, healing and beauty. 

This course is life changing and not for the Faint Hearted. 

Please only sign up for this course if you are definitely interested and are going to make the commitment to do the course to the end. I dont wish to waste your time or mine .
