Advanced Health Concerns Series

Deepen your personal and clinical herbal skills with advanced health topics. Better understand complex health concerns and body systems including herbal and natural support options.

In this module of the Advanced Series, we'll focus on advanced health concerns and body systems with classes taught by Maria Noel Groves as well as guest teachers for specific topics including Mel Kasting, Thomas Easley, Ember Peters, and others to be announced. Topics will include...

  1. Art of Formulation & Protocol Tips
  2. Herb-Drug Interactions
  3. Advanced Gut Repair
  4. Menopause
  5. Thyroid
  6. Cancer
  7. Fatigue
  8. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
  9. And a few more topics to be announced
  10. Bonus! Series students will also be able to jump in on select live streamed topics in Maria's Home Herbalist and Beyond series (happening in March/April and July/August) on Stress/Endocrine Health, Relaxation, Digestion Basics, Blood Sugar Balance, Repro Basics, Pain Management, and Autoimmune Disease.

All classes will be ALSO recorded and available on-demand with no deadline to watch/access.

This is *not* the FULL Advanced course but a component of it, with the plan to cover other advanced topics (such as clinical skills, advanced conditions and body systems) in future year modules to make the content more approachable, affordable, and manageable for students. Students can opt in or out of various modules depending on their interest. (if you're eager for everything now, you can also option to bundle the on-demand online FULL Advanced course for a discount with your registration.)

*Pre-requisites Required

These series are for intermediate and advanced students only.

The course assumes you already have training in the body systems, materia medica, and remedy techniques covered in the Home Herbalist Series and the Beyond the Home Herbalist Series or similar program. (These pre-reqs are very similar to the content of Maria's book Body into Balance.) If you did not take these programs from Maria, please review the Home Herbalist topics and/or email support@wintergreenbotanicals.com to ensure you have covered these topics.

There are NO REFUNDS on course registrations, and we want you to be sure you're ready to jump to this level.
