Studying Herbal Medicine: What School Should I Go To?

So you've decided you want to study herbal medicine. Many congratulations on your new path! Learning about botanical and plant based medicine is a worthy field to immerse yourself in.

At least a few times I month I get messages asking about herb school and herbal education. With such a vast and diverse variety of options out there, it's not wonder people feel a bit lost.

I created this video with the new and budding, soon-to-be student in mind. So thoughts and questions to help guide you on your new path.

I am considering becoming a clinical herbalist. It is nice to see a clinical herbalist.

We do wildcrafting walks in my neck of the woods, as we do mushrooming .
The elders are our teachers that pass this info on .
The herbal conferences that are regional have workshops
I find some of the home study ones filled with drama .
I became an certified herbalist thu a local wiccan group .

Thank you I started my herbal journey 40 years ago! I have taken several courses that do not exist anymore, I am mostly only for family health. My niece wants to take a course so I have been researching schools courses, I also will pay for her course! We not me, we decided she would take Aromatherapy first then herbal and we found a great school teaching both!

My plans with education is making money with a job that allows me to interact with the outdoors. Whether that’s my own little self employment and/or adding to a bomb ass resume so I can get hired into a financially secure good paying job.

[tooleyrental]

Very helpful thank you! I gre up helpig my grandfather gathering herbs for him to cure various illnesses 40 years ago in my village. Unfortunately I was too young and never asked him, he went to heaven when I was 9 years old. I’m planning to learn more...

[ibraheemtalash]

I'm currently studying Hippocratic herbalism for legal certification . The course is so outdated and filled with pseudoscience that it doesn't prepare a person to actually become a herbalist. So I'm looking forward to study in school of herbal medicine UK. Thanks for advice 🙂

[thatgirlexzie]

I would like to study herbal medicine and be a holistic I wouldn’t say doctor but definitely a advocate talk about it on a podcast and so on and so forth.

[jennicacm]

Thank you for posting this video! I like how you acknowledged that people’s circumstances and goals vary, and therefore they should consider the factors you mentioned when contemplating this decision.

My situation: I’m deciding on whether I should take an online introductory course at the Herbal Academy. I don’t aspire to be a licensed clinical herbalist. I have a degree from a university and am developing professionally in my field, but I want to learn how to care for a herb garden and how to incorporate herbs into meals and drinks. I also want to learn how to make cleaning/personal care products from essential oils. What do you think is a viable choice in my situation? Thank you. 🌼

(Btw, I’m in the United States. 🇺🇸)

[isabellacam]

Im from Australia and have been considering either the herbal academy or the chestnut school of herbal medicine. They both look so great! It's hard for me choose.. but thank you for your advice :)
