Introductory Course

This course will introduce you to the wonderful and fascinating world of herbs. If you were thinking of doing a TAFE course, this private course will be a great Adjunct. 

This course is designed to give you a good grounding in herbs for home use. We will be covering different body systems and the herbs relating to those systems, and the common  aliments that affect each Body System. We  explore the emotional issues relating to each body system as well .

We will also be looking at herbal terminology, specific herbs and their properties. Plus we will be covering the spiritual & majikal uses of herbs as well as learning Herb identification. There is also a manufacturing component in this course where you will learn the art of brewing herbal concoctions for health, healing and beauty. 

This course is life changing and not for the Faint Hearted. 

Please only sign up for this course if you are definitely interested and are going to make the commitment to do the course to the end. I dont wish to waste your time or mine .
