Course overview

Over many centuries, the original natives of Canada and North America studied their local flora to gain extensive knowledge of the healing properties and other uses the plants might have. Today we too can share this knowledge and come to understand the healing philosophy of the Native American peoples, so learning a valuable lesson to apply to the practice of herbal medicine in our modern world.
