I would be grateful for any tips or suggestions you might have to offer! I’m looking to start this as no- to low-cost as I can to make sure it’s something I’m genuinely interested in before splurging and spending any scrimped and saved funds.
@Artemisia I haven’t made my way to a deep dive into Herbalism yet, but I do have a bookmarked educational site for it:
Currently, they have an offer for saving up to 30% on their herbal courses. I’m not sure how long it is for, but I noticed it when I got the email from there.
I hope you enjoy your studies & are able to see how it works within your practice!
@Mistress_Of_Herbs is a great resource as well, she has helped me with a few things that I am learning to use for a couple of different things this season!
Ha! I was going to ask you if you knew anything about it when I came across it for when I want to do a deep dive of my own I found it by accident a couple of weeks ago & bookmarked it to see if you had heard anything about it.
I also try to find no to low cost options when first starting in a subject. I’m the type to invest a bunch then it turns out I really don’t enjoy whatever it is.
This post conversation really got me thinking too. I can no longer take the medications for my spinal issue. I’ve literally run out of options…it’s taken me 18 years to exhaust the allopathic medical professionals, but now it’s done.
When visiting back to this conversation, I realized this must mean it’s time for me to take it into my own hands and bump up my herbalism knowledge beyond the few “tea” recipes I know.
So I’m starting at Udemy. They have decent courses and the one I found for Herbalism is actually quite in depth and so much more than all my books full of other people’s recipes or just lists of herbs. Here’s a link where you can check out the syllabus.
I figure if I get through this course plus the little side herbalism course I’ve got there on specifically how to make the goods…then I’ll consider going farther if I hear the calling.
Right now my goal is to just heal the heck out of myself. I was already doing yoga, meditation and sound therapy along with a dietary overhaul. Now I’m adding swimming and herbalism to the mix.
There is a lot of power in herbalism and medicinal workings- I’m wishing you all the best with your studies, @August_Wandering! I hope the herbal class turns out to be everything you are hoping for and more
@August_Wandering ooooooo im definitely gonna have to check this out. I woukd love to actually have the certifications for what i know and do. Super cool. Thanks for the info
Oh that’s awesome @August_Wandering! I’ve looked into it a couple of places including the Herbal Academy, I will have to weigh my options once I finish my current courses. If I take too many at once I get very confused, very fast
My care team & I have been weening me off of some medications & I like to use alternative methods when I can instead of commercial medicine for some of my conditions & such. Or even if something happens around the house or yard. Better than the prices for anything at the store that’s for sure!
I feel you on the need to search for alternatives. Between my facet arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, and soreness from training for races, I often need something for pain, stiffness, or nerve issues.
Thanks for linking the syllabus for that class! I might have to ask for registration as an early birthday present!
Every few months, Udemy has a sale on their courses at highly reduced rates. I put the ones I want to take into my basket and then when there’s a sale I go buy the next course I want to take.
And yes, I have to restrain myself from taking too many at a time too…I guess we’re just knowledge junkies!
What a great idea! There are a few classes I’m interested in but don’t have the $ to do more than one right now. But I put the others in the cart and will wait for the next sale.
Check in with them often. I put one in my cart four days ago and today when I opened Udemy to work on a course, the course in my cart was marked down from $99 to $15. So I grabbed it up.
Oooooo, this is wonderful. Thanks for posting Bry and thank you @Mistress_Of_Herbs. Sorry I forgot to thank and tag you for creating the recipes. Much love to you💚
