I have gained a wealth of knowledge on herbs which was rather limited prior taking this course. I can use more herbs in my every day meals and can discuss the benefits.
More insight into some of the Herbals and their uses. I will apply the content in creating meal plans and nutrition discussions with clients.
I learned many new herbs that I can use for myself and for others to help bring balance back to the body. I am going to start using more herbs. I especially want to try bee pollen. I will also share this knowledge of what I learned with others.
Great information about different herbs and the various uses. How will you apply the content of this continuing education course to your work? In my daily life and with my family
An insight to non pharmaceutical approaches for healing/health. It was interesting and informative. Knowledge to have the conversation about alternative medicine.
The beginning of understanding using herbs in a healthy life. Ill share this information with my classes.
Specific information on how different herbal teas help with many conditions It is priced a bit on the high side.

Very informative. Knowledge of how herbs can be used to help heal ailments and enhance nutrition. Now educating clients on the helpfulness of herbs in their diet.
Better knowledge of the benefits of herbs.
I learned a lot about the various healing properties of herbs. Ways for my clients to use herbs and spices to flavor their food while cutting fat.I enjoyed the extra tidbits and external link videos.
I learned there are many more herbs than I thought and have medicinal benefits. I can suggest my clients try an herb to help with issues before beginning or in addition to medications. Of course, the dr. knows best, but if my client had some of these articles, they could learn to help themselves.
Tons of knowledge ‘Herbs are amazing, with so many benefits! sharing with people about the dramatic improvement of all aspects of their health just by adding herbs to their diet.
