Herbal medicine has been in use for thousands of years, each culture having its own unique system based on the herbs of its bioregion. This course is taught with an ecological and bioregional perspective, focusing primarily on the herbs that grow in our region here in the Northeast.

- The basic anatomy and physiology of each body system and how to promote healing and treat most acute illnesses
