Herbal Medicine Making Course

The Chestnut School of Herbal medicine was the library in which I studied, trained and blossomed into the herbalist I am today.
Now, many years later, I am honored to be a co-instructor for the school’s online Herbal Medicine Making course!
Come Delve into magic of homemade medicine…
Imagine a medicine chest stocked with homemade herbal remedies, an apothecary lined
with handcrafted tinctures, salves and tea blends. Picture a pantry brimming with botanical vinegars,
oils and honeys. Sumptuous sauces, butters and salts, infused with the flavor and medicine of fresh herbs.
All made with your own hands.
