Herb of the Month - HerbMentor, by LearningHerbs.com

I have heard from my mentors as well as many other teachers that the best way to learn is ONE herb at a time. I know that I preach having one herbal EXPERIENCE at a time, and I still do. Hey, every time you do anything with an herb you are learning. However, herbalism is about RELATIONSHIPS. And the only way to establish relationships is to spend time with...whether is be people OR plants.

Whether you use the Home Study Guide or not, you can participate in the Herb of the Month. AND it is an even more powerful learning experience if you participate in the Monthly call-in. Not only will you get to share your findings, but also learn about what others have experienced.

To get started, I would download the Home Study Guide to get an idea what we are looking for you to do. You can then choose to design your own method of study if ours does not fit in your life style or time constraints.

HOWEVER, even if you can not participate in the call-in, I would love to see folks using the COMMENTS section in the Herb of the Month entry to share stories and ask questions.

Simply click below for the latest Herb of the Month!. You are now on your way to meeting one of many herbal allies to be!
