Course Description

Have you ever been confused by terms like damp heat, choleric, pitta, and liver fire rising? 


Do you wonder if seemingly archaic concepts like black bile or deranged vata have a place in modern herbalism? 


Do you think that herbalism is more than matching plant constituents to physiology?
