The Herbal Apothecary
This four-hour self-study with audio/video modules and handouts is being offered to health professionals who want to learn more about plants, in particular, herbs. Herbal plants have been utilized throughout centuries and have peer-reviewed, published articles demonstrating the efficacy. This course is designed to educate the wellness professional on herbal plant medicines and supplementation so they can be informed and knowledgeable when a client discloses their use of these plant therapies.
Mind Body YOUniversity believes in empowering individuals to take control of their own health and wellness. With that, there is an upswing in herb and supplementation use in the community, in the world. Herbal medicine has a crucial role to play in the future of wellness care.
