This experience was fantastic. I know have a better understanding of how to identify herbs.
Figure out what ailments i want to treat and then find those herbs that assist in that process.
I was a fun crash course in materia medica , I am slowly putting my very own together with the herbs that i seem to be drawn to and ways to study and learn about them.
I really feel that this course has built me a foundation to grow on. Thank you!
