Herbal Medicine is a great insight into the healing power of plants, it focuses on safe and readily accessible herbs and plants to bring together a practical look at the compounds in plants and how these give rise to plant health benefits. You will review history, regulation, body systems, and a wee bit of chemistry around the major constituents in plants so you can recognise their potential effect, as well as production methods and a herbal monograph of the major herbal remedies. You’ll culminate your unit with having created a lovely blended tea as your assessment. Or alternatively, for expediency, there is an untimed quiz.
