Chicago College of Healing Arts
We believe learning happens in a lively environment where students are engaged with each other and a rich body of work. In particular, we believe that students need hands-on experiences to ground their intellectual understandings. Because of this our courses have elements that appeal to all the senses, and all levels of being. Students taste, smell, observe, grow and experience herbs. Nutrition and medicine making classes have lab components, and the Clinical Practicum allows students to grow into being powerful healers in a nurturing environment. “Living with Herbs,” the original name of our school, comes from our commitment to knowledge which is based on relationships to that which is known; our students spend time in the beauty of nature as well as in the laboratory. We view slides of plants we are learning, while also tasting the herb and experiencing its spiritual energy by taking in its flower essence. Our rigorous didactic studies are leavened with humor and a playful spirit of inquiry.

EarthSong Herbals
Our intention is to promote excellence in herbal practice. We provide students with beginning level herbal studies, intermediate and advanced classes in practitioner's skills. Visiting lecturers may include Matthew Wood, Anne McIntyre, David Dalton, Mindy Green and more. Check the website for the latest offerings. Apprenticeship (BEGINNING) Our weekends are spent absorbing knowledge of the plants on many levels. Margi’s focus is on a practitioner’s viewpoint. Lectures will be kept to a minimum. The joy of reading and accumulating wonderful herb books is encouraged. Introducing the identification, preparation, and wonder of herbs and their gifts is the emphasis. You will learn how to formulate teas, oils, salves, extracts and skin care products. We will introduce you to, and dance with, the expansive powers of flower essences, pure essential oils and the magic the green world has to offer. Herbal Hours (INT) In-depth adventurous study enjoying one herb as our focal point. We expose ourselves to the pure essential oil, extract, infusion or decoction, infused oil, case studies using the plant, scientific research, doctrine of signatures, magical uses. This is an opportunity to learn practical formulations understanding the energetics of one herb. We will also learn to read the body for signs indicating the specific organ systems to strengthen. ClinicCircle and Clinical Intensives (INT/ADV) Mentorship Program AHG Become comfortable in clinical practice. 1-5 days of active office life with clients, formulation, preparation and helpful discussion to follow. Live the life of a practicing herbalist for five days, or come for one or two. Continuing education credits with the American Herbalists Guild are available on request. This is an opportunity to build your foundational skills, learn more on the use of herbs, supplements, flower essences, essential oils and the magical interaction of people with them. Reading The Body (ALL) Read the face, nails, tongue and body to understand indications of lines, blemishes, marks and colors. Understanding the cues of the organ/body correspondences is a precious gift (and a curse). Indications of hot, cold, damp dry and wind conditions can easily be read once you train your eyes to see. Margi shares the knowledge learned from her teachers and clients over the past three decades.

East West School of Herbology
The East West Courses are a unique combination of Western, Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese herbology. Many of the graduates of our 36 Lesson Professional Herb Course program have obtained professional membership status in the American Herbalists Guild (AHG). This is important since the AHG is the only professional clinical herbalists organization in North America. Herbal medicine in North America has grown from an off-beat interest promoted by a handful of non-mainstream adherents, to an 8 billion dollar a year mainstream business -- and it's still growing. Increasingly we see professional medical practitioners including medical doctors, pharmacists, nurses, chiropractors, acupuncturists to non-professional lay persons exhibit a keen interest in herbal medicine prompted at the behest of their patients. The reason is clear: Herbs work. For this, there is no dispute even by those who would be normally critical of so-called 'alternative medicine.' As a result, there is an urgent need for qualified people in the growing professions of clinical herbology, herbal pharmacy, herbal research, herb cultivation and wildcrafting, herbal marketing and product development. Throughout the last several decades Michael Tierra and the East West School of Herbology have been in the forefront of the herbal renaissance, promoting its widespread growth and acceptance throughout the Western world. To increase the standards, credibility and acceptance of clinical herbalism, in 1989 Michael founded the American Herbalists Guild. There is no shortcut to mastery. Courses and schools that purport to offer 'master herbalist' (MH) or other misleading degrees, often based on a 'quickie' weekend or a single week-long workshop, have no guaranteed legal professional standing. Be that as it may, there is a growing number of professional herbalists throughout North America. Many of these are graduates of the East West Herb Course, which represents a comprehensive and thorough herbal training program. (See the "Student Profiles" on the bulletin board). Our graduates are confident and competent herbalists! Remember; one can learn hundreds of herbs, but that knowledge is clinically worthless without its integration into a traditional system of diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, only the East West Herb Course systematically integrates the three main systems of herbal medicine based on the traditional practice of Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic (East Indian) herbal medicine. We believe that herbal medicine is not simply another profession, but an inspired calling. It is to this inner calling, as well as the increasing numbers of students who feel drawn to the study of herbal medicine, that we dedicate our teachings. If you are one of those who feel such inner promptings, come journey with us down this heartfelt path of wonder and learning. A wise person once said that whatever energy is expended towards education is never lost. Enroll in one of our courses today and let it serve as your guide on your personal 'Way of Herbs.'

NAMTI School of Botanical Studies
We offer a well-balanced, comprehensive and engaging program that emphasizes the study of our North American bioregional plant medicines. Seventy-five percent of our materia medica focuses on local plants indigenous to the western United States. Working with the plants is a transformational journey, born from the wisdom of our ancestors. We acknowledge and are guided by the awareness of this sacred and time-honored path. Integrating medicinal therapies with earth centered values opens a gateway for self healing to manifest in each individual. We offer our students the tools to hold the lineage of plant medicine. These tools are derived from a full spectrum and balanced education in the art and science of Western Therapeutic Herbalism. Carrying on the traditions of the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies, Clinical Herbalist Feather Jones has recreated the Western Herbalism Certificate Program in the magical red rock country of northern Arizona. Our school offers a unique combination of studies, and our graduates leave with a passion and intention to make a difference in the world, springing from a confidence in their herbal knowledge and a deeper awareness of themselves. Our graduates become self-empowered as community herbalists with a vital force to step into the world and create a healthier planet. As those before us, we acknowledge the concept-what we do now affects the next seven generations. Learning the plants in the classroom, honoring and harvesting them in the field & garden with a hands-on approach, making medicines with them and using them as therapies, not only sparks awareness of the world around us, but our connections to it. Building on the foundation established in the first year, the second year advanced program is designed to further the students' knowledge of materia medica, therapeutics, nutritional and clinical skills. This advanced program is open to graduates of the first year as well as students from other schools with at least 400 hours of herbal education and knowledge of our local materia medica. Applying students must complete the required entrance assignments* before entering the program.

Northeast School of Botanical Medicine
The philosophy and goals of the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine are entwined to help students grasp the depth of herbal medicine and their future roles as herbalists. We want the students to gain the practical skills, knowledge and insights into plants and plant-based medicines to help and educate those people whom they will meet. The school looks to bring together the two main aspects of herbalism; the plants and the people. From both sides we encourage critical thinking and practical skills. From the plant side there is a lot of time spent with plants in their environment developing the skills to make accurate plant identification, learning how to ethically and sustainably gather these plants, how to prepare them, and acquiring an understanding of how to use them as medicine. From the people end, we teach the many facets of clinical assessment skills. Looking at an individual's health and how to approach this from a few different angles. These include the scientific disciplines of physiology and an understanding of how disease is viewed within the current medical paradigm (pathophysiology), as well as looking at their constitutional types and personal characteristics that make each person an individual and help the clinician decide on treatment protocols. We believe that herbal medicine is a way to help serve our communities. The informed herbalist can be available to answer people's health concerns and teach others how to recognize and prepare their own plant medicines. We feel that being an herbalist can be a political act. It can help change the way that medicine is often practiced in the United States and elsewhere. By taking medicine into our own hands, finding and preparing them from scratch and educating those around us may slowly help remodel the way medicine is often exercised. Herbal medicine is an aesthetic medicine. Made from trees and roots and flowers it is a profoundly beautiful art. And we hope that as people become aware of the medicinal value of plants, that their awareness of their natural environment grows and this helps people gain new insights into plants and the environment around them. In short herbalism is a beautiful, healing, political awareness-raising, community service medicine.

The North Carolina School of Holistic Herbalism
At NCSHH, we provide sound technical training balanced with spiritual insight. We offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced programs focusing on preventative medicine, self-nourishment, and sustainable living. Our courses cover all branches of herbal healing, from flower essences to pharmacognosy, incorporating modern scientific research while keeping ancient traditions at their center. We draw from Native American teachings, the Wise Woman Tradition, Shamanism, Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine as well as conventional practice. We feel that the future of holistic healing and public confidence in herbal medicine lies in this inclusive approach. Some people come to our school with personal growth as their intent. Others desire the practical skills with which to help others. Both needs are met through our courses. It is essential for anyone who is to assist others on their healing path to first care for themselves. Through meditation, movement, and ritual, we teach relaxation, rejuvenation, and a deeper connection to the whole being. When mind, body, and spirit are aligned we become more attuned to the greater whole and are better able to care for our planet as well.

Wild Rose College of Natural Healing
Herbal medicine is the oldest continuously practiced form of healthcare on the planet. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that over 80% of the world's population still relies upon local medicinal plants as a primary form of health care. Even though herbal medicine is not yet part of the health care system in Canada, modern medicine draws from it such that 30% of pharmaceuticals are derived from medicinal plants. While the practice of herbal medicine has largely been ignored by medical science, there is an increasing awareness among the public of both the efficacy of herbal remedies and the need to look at disease and health in a radically different way. Herbal medicine embraces the concept of wholism, an idea that suggests that each unit of living matter or reality is made up of unified wholes that are greater than the simple sum of the parts. This view of the body is especially important in the treatment of illness for it recognizes the myriad number of factors that can influence the health of the body, including diet, lifestyle, attitudes, spirituality, genetics and the environment. Clinical herbal medicine is the use of medicinal plants, nutritional science, and time-honoured health practices in a clinical environment, assisting the client to overcome illness and regain health. A Clinical Herbalist uses several methods to assess the health status of a client, including case history, physical examination, and interpretation of lab results, as well as several other highly specialized techniques such as pulse and tongue diagnosis, and iridology. The Clinical Herbalist Diploma program at Wild Rose College provides for all of the training and skills the successful candidate will need to establish a practice in wholistic healing.
