beginner Herbalism Course
beginner herbalism course
Price: Opens again on February 9
In 2022, a survey found that nearly 6 in 10 adults wanted to use herbs for their health—but only a fraction could name more than three.
It’s not that people don’t care. It’s that most of us were never taught how.
This online course is built for the curious beginner—the person who’s dabbled in chamomile tea or maybe bought a tincture once, but doesn’t yet know why or how these plants actually work.
Inside, you’ll get a front-row seat to a world that stretches back thousands of years—where medicine grew in gardens, hung in kitchens, and brewed slowly on the stove.
By the end of this course, you’ll understand what separates herbalism from Western medicine, and how to use herbs intentionally—not just for “this symptom” or “that cold,” but in a way that supports the whole body.
You’ll learn why “what herb is good for X” is the wrong question. How to make your own herbal oils, tinctures, and teas. What makes a formula effective—and how to build one yourself
And most importantly:
You’ll stop wondering if you’re “doing it right.”
You’ll start knowing.
*Every time we open this course, it fills up fast. But there’s a shortcut. Join the waitlist, and you’ll get early access—before the general public even hears about it. That means no scrambling for a spot. No missing out. And because we like to keep things interesting, waitlisters always get a little something extra. A surprise. Something you won’t find anywhere else. Think of it as a thank-you for being early.
Description
Somewhere along the way, most of us forgot that medicine used to grow wild.
It wasn’t stored in amber bottles or handed out behind a pharmacy counter—it grew along the edges of our gardens, crept through sidewalk cracks, and stood quietly in forests and fields.
Herbalism is a window back into that world. A world that never stopped valuing our connection to plants—we just stopped noticing.
If you’re here, something inside you is pulling at that thread. A quiet, persistent curiosity.
Maybe you’ve caught yourself wondering what those tall green stalks are near the fence line… or what your grandmother meant when she said “a tea of nettles can fix that.”
You don’t need convincing. You don’t need hype. You’re not chasing a quick fix or a trendy detox.
You’re here because you want to understand. Because you know that learning how to work with plants—not just what they’re “good for”—is its own kind of reward.
Our job is simple: to walk beside you as you step through that door. To make the journey easier, richer, and a little more grounded in the wisdom that’s been waiting all along.
The Beginner Herbal Course: Your Personal Online Course In the Oldest Medicine On Earth.
In the 1800s, every household had an herb cabinet. Today, most of us have Google—and a growing sense that something’s missing.
This course was made for people who are new to herbalism but feel the pull of something older, slower, and more grounded. A way of working with plants that supports not just symptoms, but you—as a whole.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How to actually get results with herbs (hint: it’s not about “this plant for that issue”)
- How to make herbal teas, oils, salves, tinctures, and simple body care products
- How to use herbs in daily life—to support digestion, sleep, stress, energy, and more
We built this program to be simple, practical, and impossible to outgrow.
You go at your own pace. You get lifetime access. And yes, all future updates are included.
It’s packed with:
- Real-world examples
- Tried-and-true recipes
- Clear, no-fluff guidance that makes herbalism click
This is ancient knowledge—with a modern mindset.
A map back to something that’s always been yours.

What You’ll Learn in the Beginner Herbal Course
In 1903, nearly every household knew how to brew a fever tea.
Today, most of us aren’t sure what to do with a sprig of thyme.
This course aims to change that.
You’ll start by learning how to actually use herbs—not just read about them. You’ll make:
- Teas, infusions, and long-simmered decoctions
- Tinctures, syrups, and salves
- Herbal body care: oils, balms, and lotions
You’ll also learn how to use these formulas both internally and externally, and get smart about what really matters: herbal actions, energetics, safety, and dosage.
Then we zoom out.
You’ll explore how herbs support entire body systems—like the immune system and respiratory system—and how to work with common issues like colds, flu, bronchitis, and allergies.
We’ll cover:
- Herbal care for kids
- Plant allies for reproductive health
- Nervous system support (because stress isn’t going away on its own)
- Better sleep, fewer headaches
- Skin health and the art of self-care
- What “healthy aging” actually looks like in a plant-centered world
And finally, we pull it all together.
You’ll get a working understanding of holistic herbalism—what it is, how it differs from modern medicine, and how to bring it into your real, daily life.
You can move through the material in 2–3 weeks per module (our recommendation), or binge it in a weekend. Your pace, your path.
And because you get lifetime access, every lesson, recipe, plant profile, chart, and eBook is always just a click away—even years from now.
Beginner Herbal Course Modules
Module 1: Herbal Foundations
A starter kit for the serious beginner.
In this first module, we lay the groundwork. Not with vague theory—but with the kind of hands-on knowledge people used to pass down at the kitchen table.
You’ll learn:
- How different cultures have healed with plants for centuries
- How to choose the right herb for the job
- How to store herbs so they stay potent and don’t turn into sad, dusty leaves
- The difference between an infusion and a decoction—and when to use each
- How to make tinctures, syrups, and topical remedies from scratch
- What “herbal actions” actually mean (and why they matter)
- Why trees, mushrooms, and even seaweeds deserve a spot in your herbal toolkit
- A quick, practical anatomy primer—no medical degree required
- How to start your own Materia Medica (a personal herbal reference you’ll build for life)
By the end of Module 1, you won’t just be “interested in herbs.”
You’ll have a working system—and the confidence to keep going.
Module 2: Kitchen Herbs
Where everyday meals quietly become medicine.
This module takes you to the most underrated herbal classroom: your kitchen.
You’ll learn:
- How the spices in your cupboard (yes, those) double as potent plant medicine
- How to build your own Kitchen Materia Medica—a go-to herbal cheat sheet for daily use
- How to whip up herbal remedies while dinner simmers on the stove
- Which herbs you can grow right outside your door (even if you’ve killed every houseplant you’ve ever owned)
- How to forage safely and responsibly—without trampling ecosystems or picking the wrong thing
By the end of Module 2, you won’t just be seasoning your meals.
You’ll be weaving herbs into your everyday life—without needing to schedule it in.
Module 3: Herbs for Everyday Issues
Your new go-to kit for colds, coughs, and everything in between.
This module tackles the stuff you deal with all the time—sniffles, stomachaches, stress, seasonal bugs. The things you usually reach for a pill for.
Here’s what we cover:
- How to build a resilient immune system that doesn’t freak out every flu season
- Why good digestion is the foundation of everything—and how herbs can help
- How to reduce the invisible impact of environmental toxins (without panic)
- Meet the powerhouses: tonics and adaptogens that strengthen your whole system
- How to support your lungs and breathe a little easier—literally
- Coughs, colds, flu: what actually works (and what doesn’t)
- Kid-safe herbs that are gentle and effective
- Reproductive system support: balancing hormones with plants, not guesswork
- What’s up with vitamin D—and how it fits into the herbal picture
By the end of Module 3, you’ll have a plant-powered response to everyday health problems.
No mystery. No overwhelm. Just practical herbal tools that work.
Module 4: Herbal Support for the Nervous System
Calm your nerves. Sleep deeper. Stress less.
The modern nervous system is running on fumes.
This module is your roadmap to restoring it—with plants that know how to whisper instead of shout.
You’ll learn:
- How your nervous system actually works (in plain English)
- What stress really does to the body—and how to fight back gently
- The difference between nervines and adaptogens—and why you need both
- What to reach for when tension headaches or migraines hit
- How to fall asleep (and stay asleep) without relying on sleep aids
- Why B vitamins matter—and how to get more of them naturally
By the end of Module 4, you’ll have a toolkit for building a steadier, calmer, better-rested version of yourself.
Because health isn’t just physical—it’s also how you feel when you wake up in the morning.
Module 5: Herbal Body Care
Because your skin eats too.
Your skin is your largest organ. It absorbs. It protects. It reflects what’s going on inside.
And yet—most of what we slather on it comes from plastic bottles full of ingredients we can’t pronounce.
This module flips that script.
You’ll learn:
- Why skin isn’t just a surface—it’s a living, breathing organ
- How to support clear, healthy skin from the inside out
- How to tackle everyday skin issues with plants, not petrochemicals
- How to make herbal oils, creams, and salves that actually work
- How to whip up luxurious body butters (without spending £30 on a tiny jar)
- Salt + sugar scrubs that leave you glowing—not greasy
- Herbal bath blends that soak stress right out of your bones
- Natural facial cleansers, moisturizers, and toners
- Herbal hair care that skips the synthetic foams
- What aging gracefully looks like, when plants are part of the plan
By the end of Module 5, you’ll be making your own body care products at home—for less money, zero toxic junk, and with the kind of ingredients your great-grandmother would recognize.
Module 6: The Holistic Perspective
The body is not a machine. And healing isn’t just about fixing parts.
Modern medicine is built on specialization—heart doctors, skin doctors, brain doctors. Each piece treated on its own.
Herbalism takes a different route: it looks at the whole system. The person, not just the problem.
In this final module, you’ll zoom out and see the bigger picture.
You’ll learn:
- What modern (allopathic) medicine does well—and where it falls short
- How the holistic model views illness, balance, and healing
- What it really means to take a holistic approach to herbalism
- How to blend the best of both worlds: herbs + modern tools
- What a “whole body” mindset looks like in practice
- The placebo effect—and the very real power of the mind
- How to practice holistic thinking, not just understand it
- A quick trip through the history of Western herbalism (and how we got here)
- How to bring holistic habits into your daily life—without going off-grid or growing your own food
By the end of Module 6, you’ll see your health through a new lens.
One that doesn’t separate the mind from the body—or the symptom from the root.
And you’ll know exactly how to make that perspective part of your everyday routine.
