One of the online introductory course on herbs that I’ve seen so far. It distilled many useful information into bite-size chunks that are easily understandable. Will recommend it highly to the novice as well as the initiated herbalist. Thanks Herbal Academy for such a wonderful course! Keep them coming!

This is truly a great basic introduction to herbalism with great advice on how to start small and build your knowledge from there. It includes many methods that you can start to prepare your own medicine straight away so that you do not only learn in a book, but start practicing from day one.
