Institute of Natural Healing

Want to be a Herbalist?

With all the ills besetting us today, people are seeking a kinder, gentler way to heal.

That's why there’s a move towards alternative methods of treating diseases and conditions. And one of the most popular is medical herbalism.

Kinder and gentler

Gentler than conventional pharmaceuticals, with fewer side effects, and more environmentally sensitive, herbalism has become so popular that it’s been absorbed into the mainstream. It’s even being practised by conventional doctors.

There’s a big demand for good herbalists, and the field isgrowing every day. Herbalists make good money, help people lead healthier lives, and can usually determine their own hours and work from home. It’s a wonderful, fulfilling way to make a living and give yourself time for your family, friends and activities.

Now, you can become a herbalist in the comfort of your own home – and reap all of the income and lifestyle benefits of this fast-growing field. Not to mention feeling wonderful about helping others feel good.

How?

The Institute of Natural Healing is now offering a herbal course that will give you the opportunity to earn a Diploma in Herbal Medicine -- without having to commute to classes, rearrange your schedule, or spend a lot of money on books, tuition or lectures.

This is what you'll receive when you register for the course

Written by practising herbalists, the herbal course contains 14 modules, offering you truly comprehensive, accurate, up-to-date information. It teaches you everything from herbal first aid, to how to treat or prevent common ailments. It even touches on Bach Flower Remedies and Chinese Herbal Medicine.

In addition, the herbalism course is truly practical – providing you with the crucial information you need to set up your own practice and how to find clients.

There’s no need to buy expensive books or reference materials. The course includes a complete range of study materials and ongoing online support.

And perhaps most importantly, you’ll be assigned a private tutor who is a practising herbalist -- not a college lecturer -- who will review and grade your assignments and offer practical, real-world advice.

With this herbalism course from The Institute of Natural Healing, you can study at your own pace, on your own schedule, whenever and wherever it’s convenient for you. It’s simply the best way for someone with a full, busy schedule – like you – to acquire a Diploma in Herbal Medicine.

Free mentoring when you complete the course

Once you complete the course, we’ll give you three months’ free business mentoring.

So if you're unsure on how to launch your own practice, this mentoring programme will put you on the road to success.

And because it's all part of the Institute's course, it won't cost you a penny.

Learn to make your own remedies On the course, you'll make several remedies from the herbs we supply. A wonderfully soothing chamomile tea that aids digestion, as well as reducing insomnia, anxiety and indigestion. A calming marigold ointment that you can apply to bruises, strains and burns. Its anti-fungal properties fight infection. A relaxing bath oil to sooth bronchitis and respiratory problems, made from eucalyptus and thyme leaves. A plantain poultice that you can apply to cuts and grazes. A dandelion decoction that eases inflammatory pains - and has many other benefits including diuretic, tonic and anti-bilious.

Equipped with the experience you'll gain, you can go on to make many other remedies, using nothing more complicated than your existing kitchen equipment.

As well as recommending herbal remedies, you can also sell your own.

Make your own herbal soap On the herbalism course, you'll learn to make your own herbal soap. The calendula soap on the left was made in just 30 minutes by a thirteen year-old with no prior experience. You can use the soap at home, give it to friends as presents, or sell it as an extra source of revenue. Plus, you'll be helping to heal your clients. When you complete the course Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll receive a Diploma and have the right to use the initials Dip H. (Inst. NH) after your name. So your clients will have confidence in your educational background, knowledge and skills.
