  • I completed the Spring Workshop with teacher Jane Ward. Absolutely amazing! I have attended a course with Jane before and returned to enjoy the experience of receiving more of Jane's expert and professional knowledge about Herbalism. As a group we made some fantastic herbal remedies and tonics to take home to share with our family and friends.. I highly recommend this course.

Herbal medicine refers to using a plant’s seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark or flowers for medicinal purposes. It is also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine.

Herbalism has a long tradition of use outside of conventional medicine but it is becoming more mainstream. Improvements in analysis and quality control along with advances in clinical research show the value of herbal medicine in treating and preventing disease.
