When you embark on a herbal education path, you take a huge step and should be proud of yourself.

If you want to work as an herbalist, learn about herbalism to support your family’s needs, or see what herbs check out the options we have available to you. Some people say course costs, although they are considered the most reasonable, are hard to swing. But look at it this way the cost of education is the cost of a visit to the doctor without insurance, the cost of treating a few colds and flu. This information and education last a lifetime, and this passion lasts a lifetime. Learning about herbs is a fantastic journey, teaches self-sustainability, and is a great way to save money over time. Learn more at www.heartofherbs.com
