As well as thousands of years of tried and tested remedies, the professional herbalist also engages with modern research paradigms but is not limited by them. Many sponsored websites try to downplay the growing evidence body for herbal medicine, either because they haven’t looked, or don’t want you to! Using clinical evidence can inform herbal practice, as can an understanding of phytochemistry, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This is the science of herbal medicine.
Yet herbal medicine also weaves itself into ancient tribal cultures, revealing that herbal medicine is also a way of life that is much needed in these unprecedented times.
Studying herbal medicine is a life-changing experience for students who go on to help and care for their communities guiding them in the ways of natural help. It is a great calling in life to care for others.
