Course Descriptions
This
six level (two days each level) diploma program is founded
on the fact that Nature has provided the tools to assist us
in maintaining robust health or regaining good health once
it has been jeopardized. The first level of defense and healing
is our own internal pharmacy. The second level is the use
of plants to assist us in this job. Come learn to safely and
effectively use some of Nature's most powerful tools, essential
oils. Join us on this journey, the rediscovery of an ancient
healing modality.
