Foundation in Herbal Medicine is a professionally presented online CE/CPD course designed to introduce therapists and healthcare professionals to the principles, traditions, and practical applications of herbal medicine from a modern holistic perspective.
This course explores how herbs have traditionally been used to support health and wellbeing while examining the relationship between herbal medicine, lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, recovery, and whole-person care.
Description:
