Description

DID YOU KNOW THERE IS HERBAL MEDICINE GROWING NEAR YOU?  

You may be surprised at what you thought was a common weed is actually valuable medicine! They are everywhere! These are the plants that were brought with people as medicine as they migrated to new parts of the world. The plants took hold and fortunately now we have easy access to their healing gifts.

The most important medicine we have is what we can harvest ourselves.

  • It is easily accessible

  • It is the best quality

  • It is free

  • It will always be there for us

If there is anything you learn about herbal medicine, it should be about how to find the plants.

Here’s what students have to say about the course:

★★★★★ "Great course on plant identification. I particularly enjoyed the botany section, and of course, Elizabeth Heck provides TONS of information on each of the medicinal plants she features. I highly recommend all her courses!" - J. N. S.

★★★★★ "The very first plant is growing outside my house. My neighbors said it was medicinal but I did not know for what or how to use it. - Joan Q

★★★★★ "I really loved this course. It has helped me become confident about plant identification, and how to use them for simple treatments. It is also beautifully presented! Many thanks!"

★★★★★ "It was easy to follow. I have already easily discovered wild herbs that are growing on our Farm. I can only recommend this course."

★★★★★ "Very compact and practical, all the information about an herb in one place with pictures, foraging instructions and tips for use. I like it very much!"

We find medicinal plants in our backyards, gardens, nearby forests, old farm fields and even growing right up through the cracks in city sidewalks.  You can easily learn medicinal plants that are useful for many common ailments. This course covers the most widespread medicinal plants found in nearly all parts of the world.

  • How to properly identify the most common and useful medicinal plants

  • What are the look-alikes for each plant so you develop stronger skills

  • When to harvest each plant for the greatest effectiveness

  • How to use each plant for ultimate health and wellbeing

That’s incredible value!

Why is this course not Accredited?

Nearly every online course (unless it is a large university) that claims to be accredited, actually is not. These are simply fake accreditations from real-looking websites used as a marketing scam in order to sell more courses. Elizabeth, as with any experienced herbalist, teaches with ethics and integrity and absolutely will not be deceitful for marketing sake. Rather, her students are sincerely respected and honored. Therefore none of her courses claim to be accredited.

More of what students are saying about the course:

★★★★★ "This course is a very good match for me as I am a novice at herbalism and I find that the instructor is very easy to understand and she is out in the field demonstrating what she is talking about."

★★★★★ "Very informative. Nice to see someone showing the plants and talking about them. Puts the description from books and the actual plants together."

★★★★★ "It was definitely a good match for me! Now I feel prepared to go and identify these plants while taking my daily walk by the river. I have already recognize some of them and it is just awesome to get a little bit closer to mother earth by learning about plants and its uses. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge."

★★★★★ "Yes perfect. I have a large garden and have just found out all the weeds I've been throwing away have amazing healing properties."
