Do you have your heart set on an herbal career? Do you dream of supporting clients or developing an herbal product line, and are you ready to dig deep into your new craft? Do you want to start with the basics, establish a strong foundation, and grow into your potential as an empowered and knowledgeable herbalist with advanced level skills?

This online clinical herbalist course package is presented by some of the most brilliant minds in modern herbalism and is absolutely packed with everything from seasonal recipes and in-depth plant monographs to anatomy, physiology, and herbs for common imbalances, to legal considerations and case studies.

If your goal is to become a clinical herbalist, we encourage you to pair this coursework with a mentorship alongside a practicing professional herbalist, with the understanding that obtaining hands-on clinical hours—and even additional course training—is advised before opening your own practice. (Don’t worry, we won’t leave you hanging! The package includes recommendations for how to best acquire this hands-on training.)

As our most extensive package, we’ve combined our online Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced Herbal Courses so you can purchase them at once and save with bundle pricing. All of our courses are self-paced, allowing you to study whenever is most convenient for your schedule.
