3-Year Clinical Herbalist training program VCIH offers beginning herbal students a comprehensive 3-year Clinical Herbalist training program that prepares them for work in the community clinic and with their own personal clients. The first year of classes offers a thorough introduction to the herbal arts and sciences, and can be taken by itself as our Family Herbalist course. Those interested in developing clinical skills can then continue through Years 2 & 3. Year
1 ~ This year is a combination of hands-on apprenticeship and didactic
time in the classroom, providing both direct experience with the
plants and medicine-making and foundational knowledge in holistic
physiology, energetic systems, and materia medica.
1-Year Family Herbalist training program A stand-alone program for the beginning or intermediate herbal student, with almost 300 hours of training in the basic sciences and the art of understanding the energetics of plants and people. During the summer months, we will spend as much time as possible outdoors, visiting diverse Vermont ecosystems, working in the woods and fields, and preparing herbal medicines. By the end of the year, the student will have a solid foundation in traditional herbalism, both theoretical and practical, along with a background in plant chemistry and human physiology.
