Join clinical herbalist and University of Vermont faculty member, Katherine Elmer, for an evidence-based, simplified scientific exploration of herbal and nutritional strategies to support our bodies.  

Therapeutic Herbalism focuses on the application of specific plant remedies for supporting specific body systems for optimum function and the prevention of disease(including the heart, liver, brain, skin, GI tract, etc.), safe and effective dosing, and phytochemistry basics.  

​Participants will have an opportunity to sample the herbs and learn the best ways to prepare and administer them for themselves and their families.  There will be light reading, study questions, and online discussion between classes and a certificate of completion awarded at the end.
