Introduction to Canine Herbalism

• Ten Full Lessons, on topics from how to start your home apothecary, to natural skin treatments, preventive tonics for multiple conditions, how to choose herbs based on your own dog’s unique history and tendencies, and a full unit on making your own herbal medicines from easy to obtain medicinal herbs
   
• 70 recipes, many you can use for yourself as well as your dog
   
• A Facebook “classroom” to discuss the Lessons, share tips and ask questions
   
• A Certificate of Completion if you choose to do the work (you an also take te course just for interest and not do the assignments
   
• Automatically marked quizzes with the opportunity to “do over” if you don’t get the mark you want right away
   
• Multiple suggestions for working on your own – tips for getting started with a new herb, deepening your knowledge of a familiar one, and exercises to help you grow as a home herbalist
   
•  A carefully selected Resources section, covering all aspects of herbalism from Botany and Wildcrafting to  Medicine Making and herbal safety – designed to be the best resources we have but not overwhelming
   
• 10% off an Herbal Consultation with me at any time in future, for you or your dog
   
• 15% off the Full practitioner’s course, or either of the Nutrition Courses, if you decide to pursue more studies
  
  I am loving the creative process, making herbal medicine more accessible for you but helping newcomers dive a little deeper than the popular sites often driven by marketing interests – will teach you. For example, a few Did You Knows we will talk about in the course:
   
• Did You Know fresh garlic should be chopped and allowed to rest for fifteen minutes before feeding, for full medicinal value?
   
• Did You Know slippery elm is an at risk species, and also may NOT be the best choice for your dog with mild/chronic digestive issues?
   
• Did You Know turmeric may not be the best choice for a dog with bladder stones – but may be a great choice for topical preparations?
   
• Did you Know that plantain, burdock and ox-eye daisy – yep, those annoying garden “weeds” all have potent medicinal actions and should be a part of your own Materia Medica?
