I absolutely love Herbal Academy. It's no secret, and it's no surprise. The depth of their instruction is amazing. Herbal books are awesome, but blogs only go skin deep on any given subject. The Herbal Academy is everything you could want in an online, self-paced herbal education.
The first Herbal Academy course I had taken was their herbal fermentation course. I love their online classroom, the videos that give you personal instruction, and the printables that you can keep in your kitchen with you while you make mead, herbal beers, water kefir, etc.
After I finished the fermentation course, I immediately signed up for the Intro course. I was shocked at the depth and breadth of content they cover. Everything from the history of herbal medicine, so anatomy and physiology, to how to make your own tinctures, salves, and syrups. They include a TON of recipes, too, so you can get started getting hands-on experience right away.
Since I've finished their intro class, I've taken their materia medica course, self-care course and have just started their intermediate course.
For a full outline of their class, check out their website here: Herbal Academy Intro Course
They offer a payment plan, too, if you can't afford it all at once. But even if the monthly plan is too expensive, I HIGHLY recommend a subscription to their Herbarium. It's only $45 a YEAR and it's an entire library full of blog posts, monographs, videos, intensives, etc.
But before you buy that, even, check out their FREE blog and their youtube channel. And as an added bonus, take a FREE sneak peak into Unit 3 of their intro course to see if it's right for you!
