Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine

Our culture fosters and nourishes many mental health issues and neither the cultural causes, nor the effects are new. As much as I’d like to spend a few hours talking about how dysfunctional our society is, this class will focus on the clinical aspects of common mental health issues.

We will discuss identifying and working on the root causes of depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and addiction. We’ll also cover plant allies that can help anyone remain more balanced.
