Want to deepen your studies in herbal medicine? This series picks up where the Home Herbalist Series leaves off.* Following a similar format you will learn about additional body systems and common health concerns, how to make unique medicinal remedies, and key concepts in herbal medicine as well as a slew of important herbs. Each class covers a body system and at least one remedy. For each body system or health concern, you’ll learn how the body should work, how things get out of balance, and how to use herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes to bring it back into balance. Common health concerns will also be covered, from the strong bones to brain health, chronic pain, to skin health.

Available both in live and at-your-own pace online, the Beyond the Home Herbalist courses closely follow Maria’s best selling, award winning Body Into Balance book which has become required reading in many herb schools across the nation. It is not essential to own a copy of the book, but you may find it a handy companion to your class notes.

The Beyond the Home Herbalist Series gives beginner and intermediate students greater understanding of fun and unique remedy making techniques, body systems, and health concerns not covered in the Home Herbalist Series. Both of these series are an excellent launching point for further studies and to become a professional clinical herbalist.

* Students are expected to have already completed the Home Herbalist Series before taking the BEYOND series. However, if you have prior training in herbs, you may be able to skip the first series or take them out of order. Email support@wintergreenbotanicals.com with your background if you’d like to ask in advance if that will work for you and your skill level.
