Family Herbalist Course
What is the key to great health for you and your family?

The answer is all around you.

Medicinal plants have been used for centuries to keep us healthy.  These healing herbs
are all around us every day--in our spice cupboards, refrigerators, gardens, and lawns.  The art of using herbs as medicine has stood the test of time and continues today with The School of Natural Healing.  The School of Natural Healing is dedicated to offering excellence in herbal education through high quality materials and assignments that not only tell you, but show you how to use herbs.

The School's Family Herbalist Course is designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence needed to tackle almost any health issue.  The Family Herbalist Course is essential for anyone who wants to take charge of their own health and become more informed, educated, and independent.  This course explores important concepts in natural medicine that even the most experienced natural healers need to know for success.  At the completion of this course the student receives a certificate as a Family Herbalist.

The Family Herbalist program is the first section in the Master Herbalist program and is a prerequisite to any other course offered by The School of Natural Healing.  You will have 3 months to complete the program.  It is also part of Iridology Part I, Reflexology, and Aromatherapy.
