Where

One of the things that prompted me to study herbal medicine was the realisation that if I had my own family (whatever that looked like), then how would I take care of their health and how would I be looking after myself?

I had no idea what I would do if I or any of my family members got sick and knew I would prefer not to give then pharmaceutical drugs (or at least keep them to a minimum/ use when only necessary). I wanted sovereignty over my family’s health and to be able to treat simple ailments at home. I also knew that by treating my family at home, they would not instantly externalise their health to someone else ie. a doctor

I now have two children: age 11 and 4. My eldest child has only ever been to a doctor once for a positive diagnosis of chickenpox. She didn’t even know what a doctor/ GP was until she asked me one day as we walked past a doctors surgery. My children are growing up knowing that we have LOTS of options for at-home treatment and through this process they are learning about their own bodies and physiology (bodily part functions).

As a mother and medical herbalist I know it is so important that children are exposed to an alternative health care system so that the mainstream system is not their only known paradigm.

The thing I hear the most from people is:

I would like to stop giving my child calpol

I would like to use calpol only when absolutely necessary

I would like to reduce my use of pharmaceutical drugs at home, but I don’t know what the alternative is

I would like to have other tools, including herbal medicine, and a broader range of techniques to use to take care of mine and my family’s health

I would like to know what is safe and how to give that, practically to myself and other family members

Through this course I will help you feel confident in using herbs safely at home for all minor ailments
