Affordable Online Herbal Courses

herbal education

Are you interested in learning more about the power of common herbs and natural remedies? Have you been wanting to take your herbal practice to the next level? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then an online herbal course could be a wonderful part of your plant path.

Online herbal courses offer a convenient, flexible way to pursue herbal studies at home. Perhaps you’re a busy parent who’s excited to learn about herbs but doesn’t have time to commute to an in-person school or apprenticeship. Maybe you live in a rural environment that doesn’t have easy access to a nearby herb school. Or maybe you’re passionate about herbs but don’t have the funds to pay for a more expensive on-site herb school. Whatever your situation, online herbal courses can offer you the opportunity to easily learn about herbs at home and then share that knowledge with your community.

HerbMentor offers affordable online herbal courses that you can take at your own pace.


Accessible Online Herbal Courses

This is exactly why John and Kimberly Gallagher started LearningHerbs twenty years ago: to make high quality herbal education accessible for people no matter where they live or how busy their schedule may be. HerbMentor, our platform for online herbal courses, features over 10 in-depth online herbal courses that you can take for a small monthly price — and you can try HerbMentor for just $1.

Now, this might sound too good to be true. When I first learned about HerbMentor I remember asking, “What’s the catch?” And I was totally surprised to find that there’s in fact no catch. HerbMentor follows a subscription membership model like Netflix so that we can keep the cost of our high quality courses low.

Here’s a look at just some of the incredible online herbal courses you get access to on HerbMentor…

 

Rosemary’s Remedies with Rosemary Gladstar

Rosemary’s Remedies is a video collection of Rosemary Gladstar’s most famous herbal recipes with medicinal plants, shown step-by-step and visually detailed.

It’s like having a herbal cooking school instructor right in your own home.

 

Thomas Easley’s Radicle Herbal

When you know how the body works, it’s a lot easier to choose the right herbal allies for you and your loved ones.

Thomas Easley’s Radicle Herbal: Understanding Our Bodies & The Herbs That Make Them Healthy is a ten-part series that dives into human physiology through an herbal lens.

 

Folk Medicine with Shereel Washington

What if you could make all the remedies you need with ingredients you already have in your kitchen?

Shereel Washington’s Folk Medicine: Changing the Narrative is a six-part series that dives into the core principles and practices of folk medicine.

 

Food as Medicine with Todd Caldecott

“Healing begins at the dinner table,” says Food as Medicine author and medical herbalist Todd Caldecott.

In this audio series, Todd dispels many of the natural foods myths, and delivers a simple and practical guide to healthy eating and healing with food. The entire program is rooted in nature, science, tradition, and common sense.

Listeners of all dietary choices will find gold in Todd’s teachings. You’ll love having this information as a foundation of how to incorporate herbs into your diet, so herbs are used every day to keep you healthy, and not just for when you get sick.

Foundational Herbcraft with Jim McDonald

When most people first start to learn about herbs, they usually do so in a piecemeal, “take this for that” manner. This is a great starting place, but it overlooks the foundational concept of herbal energetics and herbal actions.

Jim McDonald simplifies and breaks down herbal energetics and herbal actions in this foundational gift to understanding herbs.

 

Audio and Video Online Herbal Courses

Some of these courses are podcast-style so you can easily listen to them while doing chores, commuting to work, or other activities. And other courses include video so that instructors can walk you through step-by-step how to make complicated herbal preparations.

One of the many benefits of taking our online herbal courses is that you can study at your own pace. This means you can deep dive into an area you’re passionate about and take as much time as you want to finish any given course. We also have a community forum on HerbMentor that allows you to connect with other herb nerds who are excited to learn together as herbalists.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your herbal journey, the online herbal courses on HerbMentor are here to help you grow your skills as an herbalist.
