Practical Herbology 101

Print This Page Download PDF of This Page Email This Page

Explore the Roots-and Leaves and Flowers-of Natural Health. Before the age of computers, herbalists were able to find plants growing in the wild and process them by hand for an effective remedy. With all the advances in technology and protocols, the essence of natural healing still lies in the effects of untainted plants on the human body.

The modern day herbalist has little knowledge of or the ability to make remedies by hand if necessary. Practical Herbology is designed to guide the student who wants to learn more details about the benefits of life-changing herbs in a manner that allows them to reap the benefits of that knowledge in any situation.

Knowing a specific herbal remedy for a specific condition is good, but only if you happen to have that remedy on hand. Knowing what an herb does in the body - and which others can bring about the same results - gives you the ability to use numerous options at any given time to assist the body.

This seminar is intended to empower and reassure the experienced herb user and novice alike with a deeper understanding of how herbs work and when to use them.

Practical Herbology 101 and 102 can be taken in any order. Each seminar covers in detail 23 of the most popular and effective herbs.

Certification Seminars

CNHP has several key areas we believe to be the foundation of all other natural health information and concepts. These five seminars are the basis of our certification, and the information in these seminars provides the student with the hands-on application of various theories and techniques used by natural health practitioners. Additional modalities such as homeopathy or aromatherapy can be better understood once the student masters these elements of good health.

Students can achieve their CNHP certification in eight days by attending this intensive course of study that presents all five Certification Seminars back-to-back.

Capstone Seminars

Capstone Seminars take the knowledge learned in the CNHP Certification Seminars and expands it to include additional natural health modalities. These seminars are designed to be more advanced and are designed to bring awareness of additional, specific techniques.

Distance Learning Capstone Seminars

CNHP is pleased to introduce the following Distance Learning Capstone Seminars. These at-home study seminars are an addition to our Capstone Seminars which will make it more convenient for our CNHP students to continue their natural health education and training.
