Reclaiming Our Roots Herbal Certification course offers participants a seven-month journey to learn how to treat non-emergency health issues while gaining a grounding in the basics of herbal medicine making including teas, tinctures, salves, syrups, and compresses. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays at Herb Corner in Melbourne from February through August and are being offered at a 33% discount: $20 per class.

Master Herbalist, Cecelia Avitable says, “Plants have been and still are the back bones of our modern medicine. It has always been my desire to educate people concerning the medicinal uses of herbs and foods so that they can be a part of and take charge of their healing.”

The classes will provide participants with an in-depth study of the healing properties of herbs for women, men, children, and pets. They will cover all of the systems of the body, the conditions that are associated with that system, and the herbs that are of benefit to theses systems and conditions.
