Traditions Clinical Herbalism Programs
Both programs span two years and are designed for students at all levels, from beginner herbalists to experienced practitioners. Classes are offered in a hybrid format one weekend a month, allowing students to choose between learning in a small classroom setting or studying from the comfort of their own homes. Our school provides a rich learning experience that includes classroom instruction, hands-on medicine making, access to a half-acre medicinal garden, interactive training in our clinic, and the largest apothecary in the Southeast. Both programs align with the rigorous standards of the American Herbalist Guild, preparing graduates to become registered herbalists.
WESTERN HERBALISM
This comprehensive two-year program is divided into three segments, providing immersive training in traditional, bioregional, and international herbs through the framework of herbal energetics. Students explore body systems, herbal remedies, medicine making, botany, herb-drug interactions, and the business of herbalism. The program concludes with hands-on clinical practice, where students refine their diagnostic and assessment skills to effectively address imbalances in the body.
Chinese Herbalism Program
Our hands-on program offers an in-depth exploration of Chinese Herbalism, rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory and diagnostics. Over the course of two years, students are prepared for professional clinical practice through a combination of weekend intensives, independent study, and supervised clinical training.
We are proud to be one of the few herbal training programs in the U.S. that features a supervised, hands-on intern clinic. After completing core courses, new students begin by observing senior students and progress to treating patients under the guidance and approval of their clinical supervisor.
