HERBOLOGY 201
Introduction
Welcome to this self-guided version of Herbology 201!
Each lesson includes a lecture video, preparation video, and enrichment questions. You will have the opportunity to engage with your classmates on our Facebook group if you choose. We also discuss temperament in this class and you can take the temperament test and post your results to the Facebook group. You can also print the certificate of completion once you are finished.
I’m also attaching links to some resources that I’m hoping will help you out with your studies. The first of these is an online herbal. I am slowly adding all the herbs, preparations, properties, and essential oils that we discuss in class. The address is:
http://www.worldviewherbal.com
I have also added a student resource page to my school website. It includes links to the online herbal, a bookstore that includes many of the books and tools I use in class, and a link to my YouTube channel which includes playlists of the videos we use in class plus several other videos that I have made about herbs. You can visit the class resource page at:
