Family Herbalist Course

**The Newly Revised Second Edition is now available!!**

Ready to completely turn your home into a healthy haven with real foods, preventative care and holistic medicine? Our completely updated and revised Family Herbalist course provides everything you need! Our Family Herbalist course was our first program and remains our most popular. Now, the best is even better! We took our comprehensive program and revised the material completely, updating statistics, including new and recent advancements that have taken place since the first edition was released, and reformatting the layout to make it even more user friendly and accessible! The program now includes two textbooks: Understanding Holistic Health and Botanical Medicine in the Home as well the brand new Family Herbalist student guidebook, which takes you from your first unit to completion, storing your notes, thoughts and projects. And we've managed to do all of this without increasing our tuition rates!

In this program, you will learn more about herbal medicine, aromatherapy, natural health philosophy, prevention in the home and so much more! Our graduates have all the tools they need to live completely natural and healthy lifestyles, and pass their newly established habits along to their children. While the information is presented in a practical, easy to use format, the course is one of the most comprehensive and thorough family herbalist programs available anywhere. Our whole person, integrative approach connects modern health concerns with time tested ancient medicine and modern evidence based research, and the lengthy medica materia provided ensures competency for both attentive parents as well as aspiring professionals. Like all of our courses, this program teaches reliable and effective natural health from a Biblical perspective. The newly revised program still contains 26 units, which can be completed in 12-18 months. It provides 360 study hours and is self paced for your convenience.
