 This
is a special course for the aspiring herbalist who would
like to have me "by your side" teaching you
how to identify, harvest, and buy 52 healing herbs.
I'll "watch over your shoulder" as you make
nourishing herbal infusions, tinctures, vinegars, oils,
honeys, poultices, soups, and beauty aids.
You will try out my favorite remedies.
Your studies will be both experiential and intellectual.
You will make and use herbal remedies as well as reading
about them in a variety of sources.
Here are some sample exercises from ABC of
Herbalism correspondence course with Susun S. Weed
 First
green ally exercise: Sit and breathe with your green
ally for 3-10 minutes a day. You breathe out and the
plant breathes in; the plant breathes out and you breathe
in.
Second green ally exercise: Make a detailed drawing
of your green ally, as accurate as you can make it.
Then do a soft-focus, impressionistic drawing of your
green ally. When the weather is too inclement to breathe
with your green ally, breathe with your green ally's
picture.
Third green ally exercise: What part of your green
ally is usually used? Are other parts helpful? Experiment
by making several small tinctures, oils, and vinegars
of the different parts of your plant. Ask to plant to
help you discover new ways to use her.
