Herbal Medicine Chest Classes in Champaign Urbana, Central Illinois

Wise Weeds Botanical Studies: Herbal Medicine Chest Course

Medicinal Herbalist (and owner of Beads N Botanicals) Catherine Novak, will teach this course. She says, "Over the years, I’ve discovered that each individual herb has so much to teach us about healing and our relationship to nature. Just when I make the mistake of thinking I know almost everything about an herb’s properties, I learn of another through direct life experience or knowledge shared with me by herbalists whom I respect."

This course will cover between 25 and 50 herbs.

 The Herbal Medicine Chest covers holistic approaches to “medicine,” a traditional Chinese medicine view of “medicine,” and a Native American perspective on “medicine.”

 You will learn how to use herbs safely and responsibly; methods of preparing herbs; suggested herbs to keep on hand for everyday use;  how to make herbal oil infusions and salves; and how to use wild edibles as food and medicine.
