Course 14 | Herbal First Aid

This Herbal First Aid course is practical and hands-on learning that will empower you to use safe and effective herbal medicines in your everyday life.

Amanda Howe is a Herbalist with over 30 years of experience using plant medicine.  Amanda has spent much time in the mountains, in the wilderness and she also has an active family and many years of experience with clients – so she has a wealth of experience to share about the use of herbs in First Aid type situations.

You will learn how to use herbs in everyday first aid situations such as cuts, bruises, scrapes, and minor burns.  And for common mild illnesses that everyone encounters such as colds, sore throats, coughs, flu, and headaches. 

The remedies and  First Aid situations covered in the course are a great way to introduce kids to Herbal Medicine.  These everyday uses of plants teach kids how to take care of themselves.  And kids love to make the healing salves and oils, sprays, and plasters that will become part of your family’s First Aid Kit.

The Herbs in the First Aid course are safe and easy to use and understand.  They are common Herbs that are easily accessible in your garden or in your local health food store, with many of them being Herbs that you will already have in your kitchen.
