This is an in-depth presentation of the Chinese herbal system. It exceeds the level of most of the schools in the country.
We do not encourage you to rush through the material. It takes some
time to develop an understanding of the Chinese healing system.
Students usually take several months to complete the Comprehensive
Herbalist Training and 1 - 5 years to finish the Advanced and Certified
Training to become a Certified Herbalist.
We understand that each person learns at their own rate and circumstances often dictate how much time you have to study. This is why we do not set a time limit on finishing the courses. Study and learn at your own speed. For instance, a class section may have a notation of "12 hours" - that is the verbal instruction for that class. You might spend much more time studying course notes.
No problem. You can call during our office hours, or email at anytime, someone will be available to discuss your questions with you.
Each course comes with extensive written material, so no other
textbooks are necessary. However, some students find they would like to
have additional reference material. We suggest some titles during the
course and where to buy them. (Check out our Links page)
At this point, no state has licensing guidelines for herbalists. You
should be able to give herbs to anyone based on a TCM (Traditional
Chinese Medicine) diagnosis. What you cannot do is to diagnose using a
Western named disease. For example you cannot treat diabetes, but can
give herbs to treat a systemic imbalance of excessive heat in the
middle burner.
Over the last few years, there has been an incredible surge of interest in herbal medicine throughout the entire country. Our students have found a variety of ways to use their knowledge to benefit others and create a new livelihood. Many establish a practice simply as an herbalist; others use it to complement another healing modality that they have training in (i.e. Acupuncture, Chiropractic, etc.) We have had graduates from around the world add CEU's, get hired by health food stores and chiropractic offices. In addition, others open their own herb business or sell herbs and related products.
In place of financial aid, we have made it possible for students to purchase one course at a time without a financial commitment to the entire program. For some, this pay-as-you-go has been more practical financially. However, you do receive a discount as if you would purchase an entire section at one time. Of course, you can also use your Visa, MasterCharge, Discover or American Express card to pay for the enrollment fees.
