This online series serves as a guide for the beginning herbalist: every week students receive a new lesson that includes information on botany, human physiology, medicine making, and basic herbal therapy, along with a video lecture from Guido focused on plant identification, preparation, and key topics. Each week will also feature three or four important medicinal species that we will explore in greater depth, along with materia medica sheets that summarize each plant's actions, energetics, and therapeutic uses.
