Herbs have been used for healing for centuries, from mental health to cardiovascular issues and everything in between. Take the Herbal Compendium Diploma Course and you’ll learn how to select and use the most effective herbal remedies for a wide range of health issues.
You’ll begin the course by spending some time getting to know the multi-use nature of herbs and becoming familiar with their constituents. You’ll discover the various ways in which they can be prepared and used, and when to use each type of preparation.
