People's Medicine Course
People's Medicine Course
Learn one herb a month through weekly lessons. Explore the world of herbalism without feeling overwhelmed. This year-long course focuses on versatile & easy-to-grow herbs, perfect for a home apothecary.
You get a monthly book of knowledge & lore for a permanent reference about that plant. Each week of that month, you'll get a lesson with practical, hands-on activities like making medicine, cooking, & sampling.
I designed this class for folks excited to work with herbs and create their own bank of knowledge and tested recipes (but who are overwhelmed or too busy to do more than a couple hours a week).
This course is set up so that one herb a month becomes available for you to read about, work with, and learn. You will get an email letting you know that a new unit is available to you every 30 days from the time you enroll until the course is done, a year later.
In each unit, there are two ways to read the e-book about the herb: in an embedded .pdf on the site, or download the .pdf file and take it around with you. Both files are available in each unit.
Each week of the month spent on each herb, you will have a lesson to do- in this class, we learn by DOING! You can skip around and do the lessons in any kind of order during the month. I did this to ensure that the leaning could continue, even if your supplies were not obtained yet. If you choose to skip around, please read ahead, as there are some lessons that use items made in previous weeks.
The full price is listed on this product, but monthly payment plans are available. Go to the class page if you want a payment plan!
(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!
Packaging
Packaging
We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Specifics for all products are in our FAQ (our FAQ is under the "about" menu at the top).
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different
from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to
restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with
your body.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into
your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products
before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can
recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many
plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a
matter of finding the right one for you.
