Most people are aware of Lyme disease and the many co-infections that exist, and that it is possible to contract these diseases in CO.  But very few people are aware of the intimate connection between Lyme disease and CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) aka mold illness. 

Not only has mold illness existed in CO for many years, most probably misdiagnosed in years prior as CFS/Fibromyalgia, MS, lupus or others, and more recently misdiagnosed as solely Lyme.  But unfortunately, the 2013 Boulder/CO floods created rising numbers of mold illness sufferers in the area.

We’ll cover in-depth, science-based information to give you a full and understandable picture of what exactly mold illness entails, to proper diagnostic criteria employed by doctors, and information to support those who suffer from mold illness. 

And finally, we will cover vital information on how to distinguish between helping your clients feel better, and making sure you identify and treat the root cause of mold illness.  

This class will provide valuable clinical information to any practitioner wanting to provide more answers to certain clients.  A ½ hour at the end of each class will be kept open for questions

Ethical and sustainable wildcrafting is so important in the mountain west, where we harbor sacred medicine. Explore the beautiful mountainous region of Breckenridge with Briana Wiles, author of “Mountain States Foraging: wild and flavorful edibles from alpine sorrel to wild hops”. Understand how we can tend natures garden without sacrificing the land, threatening the ecosystem or endangering the endangered. As herbalists it is vital we understand our relationship with the wild plant world. Discover and learn more about the local edible and medicinal plants growing at 9,000 feet.

Find new herbal allies to assist you and your clients while on and off the table.

Briana Wiles has been a practitioner of Structural Integration for the past ten years and has begun incorporating herbs into her practice, providing people more relief in between sessions.

In this class you will learn which herbs she has found best infused into massage oils, bath soaks, liniments, tinctures and more. Also, gain some tips on how to not burn out while in the toils of the industry with nourishing brews and self-care tricks.

1 ½ hour plant walk Friday evening for sponsors and teachers only

Author of “Mountain States Foraging: wild and flavorful edibles from alpine sorrel to wild hops”, Briana Wiles, will be guiding you on a walk in the Rockies. Learn to identify local edibles and be encouraged with ways to incorporate them in your diet or recreational adventures.

Growing your own herbs is not only possible but so fulfilling.  There is nothing better than going out in the morning, picking your own herbs and brewing and drinking a cup of your own health-packed herbal tea.  I will share my successes, failures and mostly joys in growing herbs in containers, gardens and landscapes.

Kombucha tea drinks are growing in popularity because of their ample supply of probiotics and many health benefits.  Making herbal kombucha is great because of the additional health benefits of the herbs themselves, however some herbs work great in the process while others will ruin the kombucha brewing process.  How to make your own individualized herbal kombucha blends for different body systems will be demonstrated.

This a place many herbalists get stuck, and here is why: It brings up the deep question lurking inside of each of us; Are you really who you say you are? Can you go the places this deep process can take you? This workshop will walk you through how to complete and thorough women’s health herbal intake. Learn everything from how to keep time, take notes and formulate while listening, to how to ask the hard questions and what to do when you hear more than you know what to do with.  I'll be happily sharing with you my 20+ years of experience as a clinical herbalist in private practice. Among the most crucial points covered are authentic questions and how they can reveal hidden and meaningful information. We will discuss how to weave together a cohesive treatment plan from the information you gather.

Learn to weave the traditional healing practices of song, plant brushing, and prayer into your work as an herbalist. Plants we will cover include Rose, Rue, Blue Vervain, Basil, and Marigolds. We will also discuss the burning of sage, sweetgrass, and copal. Class will cover ways to introduce these practices to clients in a professional manner and how to gently ask questions about spiritual and religious practices, trust, and faith. We will teach you the songs we sing most often in our teaching circles and introduce you to the ways in which the healing plants we work with work with us!

This class is a circle of stories sprinkled with gems of ethnobotanical wisdom. I will share tales of adventure, recipes you only encounter by chance, pictures, laughter, and medicine teachings of incredible women who are dear to my heart. These women include amazing herbalists, visionary teachers and humble traditional healers who have shared their love and work with me in a way that has helped define my own work and has deeply influenced my life. We will celebrate the herbal wisdom of Cascade Anderson Geller, Estela Roman, Rosita Arvigo, Beatrice Waight and Hortense Robinson of Belize. These are stories that will make you laugh and cry and teachings you will never forget.

In this class, we’ll talk about a number of plants and trees found in the mountain west, focusing on applications for physical pain. We’ll review the basic mechanisms of pain using both a Western physiological perspective and an energetic one. Each herb will be described using both paradigms, integrating personal experience, observations from working with others, and wisdom gems from my teachers. We’ll discuss how to apply these herbs as simples and in formula for different kinds of pain, using both internal and topical approaches (samples will be passed around to try in class). When tending to pain, I always consider the needs of the emotional body, so I’ll bring to light some of the ways each of these allies can be called upon for emotional as well as physical support. I’ll also share the general principles I’ve come to value most when working with pain. Plant identification and approaches to wildcrafting will be addressed, but we'll mostly focus on clinical applications.

Acorns in the Garden of Eden? Could be. Oak trees featured as the celebrated Christmas tree in Europe? This tradition still exists in some locations. Why? An oak tree is so different from the aromatic yuletide conifers we all grew up with. The oldest remains of acorns from inhabited sites date to 750,000 years ago. Most, if not all, of our ancestors relied on acorns in the distant past for their sustenance, and a resurgence of popularity amongst modern foragers has brought back some of this ancient enthusiasm. This nutritiously well-balanced wild food will be the topic of our discussion featuring some of its very long history, a discussion of the variability amongst oaks found in the Mountain West, and best practices for harvesting and processing acorns for food. We may even have a special acorn treat to share!

Many cultures all over the world have created complex systems of categorizing plants based upon their in-depth exploration of their Nature, energetics, and usage.  Working with plants in the Western world in the late 20th century became a reductionist endeavor seeking validation from the prevailing Cartesian model which sought to define a plant

by the sum of its parts (or the valuation of its constituents). Embracing a more holistic model historically present in both the East and the West, plant energetics has re-emerged amongst Western herbalists. But how do we categorize our herbs? By what standard? This class explores a working model for developing an energetic awareness of plants. In turn, each plant must be viewed in relation to the place it is taken, and by whome. Together, Plants, People, and Place

determine the often variable outcome. A deeper study of these 3 subjects may reveal more

intricacy of how the plants work on us physically, mentally, and emotionally.

A relationship to the land and the plants which grow there are essential aspects of becoming a bioregional herbalist. This relationship builds season by season, year by year, relationship by relationship creating an interdependent, complex web, each part informing the whole, and vice versa. A bioregional herbalist develops relationship with plants through connecting with and following this flow of information throughout the web of life. Following in the footsteps of those who walked this land before you is imperative, whether through direct lineage or via heartfelt relationship with Gaia herself. In this class we will explore this process through story, discussion of plants, relating of dreams, and the core principles of becoming a bioregional herbalist.

It is powerful medicine to use the herbs that grow around us, and even more meaningful to harvest that medicine yourself. Join herbalist Elaine Sheff to explore the beauty of gathering your own herbs and how to make sure you are wildcrafting in an ethical and sustainable manner.

A sensory exploration of the medicinal and edible plants of the Rocky Mountains.

Bacteria are the oldest form of life on earth and the evolution of resistant strains or microorganism is a natural phenomenon. But what happens when we create super bugs by abusing antibiotics? Learn herbal tools for resistant strains of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Elaine will also discuss diet and lifestyle changes you can implement to combat this devastating health trend.

Menstruation, typically a taboo subject in our culture, can be a rich source of information for women about their health and wellbeing. But what is normal menstruation? Let’s take a deeper look at how to interpret the fertility cycle by creating a menstrual map. This class will also address herbal tools including reproductive antispasmodics, emmenagogues, hormone balancers, phyto-estrogens, progesterone encouraging herbs, uterine astringents, and reproductive tonics.

The study of fungi has generally been lumped in with plants for quite some time. Many of the terms we use to describe fungi even come from botany. This lecture will clarify the drastic differences between the kingdom of plants and the kingdom fungi, and relate this to the differences in healing between the two.

Mushrooms have been shown to have immense healing capacities. Why is this? Why are there compounds in mushrooms that plants do not have? In this lecture you will learn about how mushrooms grow, eat, heal, and protect.

Part of this talk will point our morphological traits that set plants apart from fungi. Plant morphology and medicinal purpose will be compared to fungal morphology and purpose.

We will talk about the behavior of fungi and how this creates medicinal compounds. We will discuss current research on medicinal mushrooms and the potential impact of it. Local medicinal mushrooms will be covered as well as medicinal mushroom access.

The kingdom of Fungi is vital to the function of our ecosystems. They build soil, make nutrients available, and provide a myriad of functions that all organisms rely on. This lecture will cover the essential processes of fungi that give life on earth and here in the Rockies, and how these functions can be applied, harnessed, and utilized by humans for healing our earth.

We will discuss mycorrhizal plant interactions and how plants and fungi create symbiosis. Fungal nutrient cycling is a very important piece to this ecological puzzle. Fungal anatomy and functions as well as fungal intelligence will be touched on as well.

These unique facets of this kingdom of organisms will be related to potential applications like restoration of disturbed soil systems, breaking down toxins, absorbing toxins, making sustainable materials, and more.

Although a complex topic, the material will be explained in the most approachable manner possible. Participants will glimpse fungi through the lenses of chemistry, technology, botany, evolution, ecology, and connection. So come be a part of the underground network and get hyphae!

Expand your local Materia Medica!

Using medicinal weeds applies to any bioregion. It can be particularly applicable to sensitive ecological areas where overharvesting of native species is common. In this class we will explore the uses of our common medicinal and edible ‘weeds’, as well as the native analogues.  Botanical identification (with an emphasis on plant family patterns), applicable clinical uses and safety, medicine making, ecology, and more will be discussed.  Bring your taste buds and plant geek hat, this hands-on class is for herbalists of all levels.

Come learn about some of our most abundant and sustainable local medicines. In this hands-on class we’ll look at the medicinal uses of our local trees and shrubs, as well as botany, folklore, herbal safety, ecology, and more.  From the high altitude evergreens to the water loving deciduous species, this class focuses on getting up close and personal with the trees. We’ll also concentrate on engaging all the senses to cultivate perception of the medicine. From beginning herbalists to clinical practitioners, this class is for anyone looking to broaden their Materia Medica and explore this fantastic group of plant people!

We will learn about the edible and medicinal plants growing in our Rocky Mountain region, and make a wild edible salad to share!

Learn how to use food, herbs, essential oils and other lifestyle techniques to improve depression, anxiety, OCD, anger, fear, grief, trauma, stress as well as enhance intelligence and improve sleep.

Explore the ancient herbs and modern research of shamanic substances. Understand how they affect the physiology. Learn how to prepare safe set and setting and integrate the experience into an evolved dimension of life.

Chronic pain is a condition 100 million Americans experience on a daily basis. It is more a more common health problem than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined. It isn’t talked about much, and is often glanced over in holistic health books. Many times this is due to ignorance or inexperience in working with chronic pain. It can seem like a hopeless cause, because there is no quick fix. There is no cure. It is a big, complex problem with many moving pieces, and this is where holistic health can shine. We can incorporate many different healing modalities like yoga, meditation, psychological support, spirit work, exercise, herbal remedies, and custom diets to help manage and reduce chronic pain symptoms.

Children are curious little creatures, from the day they are born they constantly learn, grow, and develop ideas about the world around them. They see the magic, fairies can be real, having tree friends makes perfect since, and they are so very in tune to the natural world. They hear and experience messages from the natural world every second they are engaged with it, and these lessons can be harnessed, encouraged, and passed on. Amanda is on a journey with her two children, ages 4 and almost 6, and focused on helping to show her children to be good stewards of the environment and friends to the plants. She teaches preschool and kindergarten children how to grow and harvest herbs, then use those plants to make medicine and art. Through trial and error, she has learned some fun ways to engage children with the plant world, and help them co-evolve with their plant friends.

So you want to be an herbalist.

Have you thought about what you’ll do once you are one? Do you want to open a store? Are you planning on making products to sell? Are you hoping to work with clients?

If any of these sound like something you’re considering then you’ll need to consider the business side of things.

In this three hour lecture, Sarah Josey, the owner and founder of Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary & Clinic, will talk about some of the business considerations that need to be thought about before diving into the world of trying to make money with herbalism.

She’ll talk about her experiences opening a store, getting insurance for a business no one understands, and trying to make a living doing what she loves, all while maintaining her integrity and sanity.

Some practical tips you can expect to learn:

·      How to register your business name with the state

·      What type of business entities there are

·      Accounting considerations, banking, taxes, bookkeeping, and more

·      How to price for profit

·      The pros and cons of Farmers markets, retail stores, and clinics

·      Legal considerations

·      Marketing

This class will cover as many of these topics as we can in the amount of time we have, but know that this will be an introduction into the things you need to think about if you want to make herbalism your full time gig. Also, many of the things discussed will be specific to the state of Colorado, so know that each state has it’s own laws.

Panel with: Feather Jones, Ann Drucker, John Slattery and Monticue Connally

As a keystone plant species, osha' (Ligusticum porteri) has always played a necessary role in traditional medicine and a harbinger of what's to come for healthy ecosystems.  From ethnobotanical medicine to current research into it's chemistry profile, we see the lineage and legacy of plants to people throughout the Rocky Mountains.  An osha' monograph with clinical applications will be shared as well.  Although osha' has many healthy stand populations, it is still overharvested in relationship to it's ability to grow to maturity.   Returning to the old ways of 'listening to the plants' can be critical for learning what they need to sustain themselves.  Hear about ongoing preservation projects and gain knowledge of the importance of some of osha's sustainability techniques.  A small slide show on the osha' research project: 'Harvest Sustainability Study of Wild Populations of Osha' will accompany the talk.

There are many levels to plant nervines from parasympathic and sympathic nervous system antispasmodics, sedatives, anodynes, anxiolytics, adaptogens, trophorestoratives, tonics, stimulants and relaxants.  Our focus is bioregional plants, and when they are applicable in practice.  Aligning the individual's specific indications, from a western herbal constitutional perspective, to a plant's profile and character makes a good herbalist.  The right herb for the right person.  A plant classification chart and the use of symptom pictures will accompany the class.  Abbreviated plant monographs with pressure sensitive harvesting guidelines are included.

This walk includes a selection of Rocky Mountain natives growing in the area.  We'll briefly discuss each of them with primary and secondary actions, traditional and current uses, formulation strategies, and flower essence info when available; the best mode of delivery and mindful wildcrafting practices.  Tasting and smelling the plants, connecting with them in their environment is the best way to remember who they are.

In this 3-hour class, we’ll survey the traditional uses, actions and energetics of the herb along with current science on the important synergistic activity of its constituents, including new discoveries from research on the essential oils of different strains. Lisa will also share therapeutic uses of both internal and topical preparations of the herb, along with potential adverse effects, constitutional indications, and Vitalist therapeutics for withdrawal and overdose.  For a clinical perspective, we’ll look at several cases from our experience at our clinic in Boulder, the Evergreen Center.

Movies and books would have us believe that Native Americans, soldiers, settlers, prospectors, gunfights, the occasional soiled dove and other western folk rolled over and died quickly from gunshot wounds, arrows, stabbings and other recreational types of violence. In truth unless a person was very unlikely they often survived grizzly (and often a Grizzly) attacks with the help of plants literally at their footsteps. Students will be given a list of plants and their healing qualities when in it comes to trauma care. Wound packing will be a specialty part of this lecture. Some students may be chosen to act out true life scenarios of injuries while others will provide care.  Comfortable clothes should be worn for this class. It should be noted plants are not be used for trauma care unless there is no other reason.

A virulent influenza that killed an estimated ten percent of the world through direct infection and later post-flu complications still lurks in the matrix of possible viral disease. Recreated in the lab from lung tissues of frozen corpses in Alaska the study of this viral monster suggests that even if a vaccine had been available in 1918 it could not have been manufactured fast enough to vaccinate the entire world. This problem will still exist if the so called Spanish Flu returns. Why certain herbs such as Osha and Yerba Mansa gave the immune system strength to fight the flu is still a mystery and is unimportant for the purposes of the course. This class will give a frightening history lesson far beyond any fictional zombie fantasy and a list of the few plants found in the high deserts and wet areas of the southern Rockies that gave Native Americans and Hispanos a fighting chance for survival. Students should bring an 8 oz. glass jar, a small amount of honey and some vodka. A version of this course is given at the California School of Traditional Hispanic Herbalism.

This class will include lecture, plant preparation, and some direct class participation depending on the number of attending students. For many non-Hispano students, the preparations of medicines or remedios are set in the realm of ounces, grams, and drops. To the indigenous healers of the world such careful preparations had no meanings. Rather, the careful preparations of the Native Americans and later Hispanic healers depended on taste, color, and texture. Within this preparation is the personal infusion (or at times, a group infusion) of prayer and healing energy. Often considered superstition by sociologists we will attempt to show how prayer and ritual (for lack of a better term) can alter the strength of medicines. This course has never been taught before. If possible students should bring a small mortar and pestle along with a clear glass jar of no more than 8 oz.

Men benefit greatly from the use of herbs.  We will cover the male uses for herbal teas and tinctures of the mountain west. The cures will range from those that promote high energy and healthy testosterone levels to treatments that strengthen memory and balance the emotions. It’s time for the men to achieve optimal health!

The Medicine People of West Africa are some of the most skilled plant people on the planet. Many of them were brought to the Americas on slave ships. While working in the fields, many of the black captives began to notice patterns in the plants and became experimental with them medicinally.  These plants were quickly brought into rituals and associated with certain African Gods, namely the Orishas who were often worshipped in secret. When black people began to move west, they took the knowledge of the plants which evolved with introduction of new plants. In this class you will learn how plants of the mountain west such as mullein, osha and elderberry correspond to the folklore of the West African nature spirits known as Orisha and some ways that Africans- Americans used these herbs to fight off illnesses both spiritual and physical.

This class is being developed for the Mountain West Herb Conference and has never been taught before.  Herbal tinctures and herb samples will be passed around to attendees.

There is nothing more annoying than the tickle of seasonal allergies, setting off a fit of sneezing and itchy eyes. Every herbalist practicing in the Mountain West needs to know how to treat chronic, seasonal allergies. In this class, we will dig deeper into the underlying causes of this annoying respiratory plague, including looking at congested liver, poor fat digestion, and food allergies as possible triggers. Focus will be on using herbal allies from our bioregion that you can wildcraft or grow yourself.

This class is being developed for the Mountain West Herb Conference and has never been taught before.  My personal first aid kit will be displayed for attendees to view and I will pass around several herbs and supplements for attendees to experience and taste.

Every budding herbalist needs to know the practical craft of herbal first aid. You will learn how to properly apply the plants in our region to treat cuts, contusions, diarrhea, nausea, bug bites and much more from an herbalist who has seen lots of gnarly stuff. Develop your own first aid kit using dried herbs and tinctures that can be prepared on the fly. Focus will be on our bioregional herbs.

We will begin with a discussion on plant and human evolution and physiology.  A brief overview to the development of our liver detoxification system and limbic system will be covered. Chemical constituents in Essential Oils, their notes or volatility, modes of transport and proper dosages will be addressed.  Class will introduce basic Chinese concepts of energy and discuss how essential oils have an effect on all three levels of energy, our Wei Qi, Ying Qi and Yuan Qi. Specific essential oils will be introduced by both their Chinese and Western herbal categories.  Several formulas will be included for specific conditions.   Essential oils and other aromatic substances will be shared in class.

Participants who attend this work will learn about the evolution of human physiology in response to secondary metabolites like essential oils.  Participants will be introduced to basic Chinese medicine theory, Aromatherapy and Herbalism.  Participants will gain insight in how to treat specific conditions with essential oils, resins and herbal preparations.  An emphasis on safe and conscious use of essential oils will be addressed.

The Poudre Canyon, from the foothills to the Continental Divide, offers great plant and habitat diversity in a very short distance.  I have brought students and photo-documented 7 different sites/trails in and around the canyon annually over a ten year period ending in 2012.  I will show and discuss the key medicinal plants in each location and describe some year-to-year changes as well as the effects of development and forest-collapse.  We will discuss clinical pearls for 30 of the plants.

This class explores the evolution of plants and humans.  Our existence and metabolism depends on plants for survival and longevity. But what allowed humans the ability to have abstract thought, create art, music and spirituality?  Many believe it was the ingestion and inhalation of certain plants and compounds that opened the door to human consciousness. We will discuss the connection between compounds found in plants and their corresponding receptors in our brain and bodies. We will examine the limbic system and endocannabinoid system and their roles in metabolism, cellular regeneration and consciousness.  Plants as diverse as cannabis and pine will be discussed.  Teas, essential oils, and elixirs will be shared in class.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn about the evolution of plants and humans and the role plants had in creating our consciousness.  Participants will be introduced to physiology, as it applies to ingestion of herbs.  Participants will gain insight into how human consciousness may have evolved.  An emphasis on safe and conscious use of plant medicine will be addressed.

Discovery and investigation of the biofilm form of bacterial life has altered our understanding of chronic infection and given insight into the failure of antimicrobial drugs and host immunity to rid the body of the infections. This has opened an flourishing new line of research into antimicrobial herbs, investigating synergistic effects of multiple plant constituents for direct antimicrobial action, disruption of plant defenses, and prevention or disruption of biofilm formation. Our traditional Western mountain disinfectant plants, such as Larrea, Thuja, and Anemopsis appear to work by disrupting biofilms, and the new research has shown anti-biofilm properties to others such as Arctostaphylos uva ursi, Achalypha mexicana, Hypericum, Achillea and others. We will discuss practical methods of application of herbal medicines with supportive therapeutics, incorporating the above research to improve protocols for chronic infections of the skin, sinus, mouth, external and middle ear, stomach, small intestine, bladder, and vagina.

The alterative action, so important in traditional herbalism, is one of the most poorly understood therapeutic categories in our materia medica. We will describe the physiology of “blood purification” and then present differentials and traditional methods of formulation for 20 alterative herbs from the Western States, with differentials, and methods of formulation.

Michael Moore was a bioregional herbalist, sensible wildcrafter, incredible musician and composer with a deep respect for the plant ‘kindom’.  His herb books have been basic texts for many herbalists, usually a little dog-eared.  He spoke like he wrote, witty, humourous, matter of fact and deeply knowledgable and delivered his down to earth style of teachings that included many layers of understanding.  Michael made an enormous contribution to western herbalism and reviving the western constitutional model.  As a group of his graduates, we’ll be sharing our favorite stories, lessons to be passed on and his legacy.  

Jamie Lynn Thomas presents an introduction to Cannabis Energetics and Quantum Flower Essences. She will discuss Cannabis energy medicines and quantum H20 Infusions and their role in healing the PEMS or the Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual bodies in clinical practice. This class empowers sensory awareness of the PEMS by inviting the attendees to sample four separate Rocky Mountain cannabis plant & color spirits as well as record clinical changes in their own PEMS systems.  This exercise will prepare the practitioner to work with the CannaEssences in their innovative, conscious practices. Many herbalists and practitioners, in Cannabis legal states, are being overwhelmed with Cannabis medicine perception imbalances and heroic uses. This gentle effective, internationally legal, remedy is exactly what they need in their vital tool belts. 

About CannaEssence: Jamie Lynn and CannaEssence have studied the unique water crystal imprints of a variety of Cannabis Strains using hundreds of case studies and large samplings of the public. These special floral imprints are an innovative alcohol free elixir with quantum infusions that resonate harmonically with specific color (light waves) from the Manchester color wheel. By combining the power of plant spirit medicine, color/light therapy and quantum infusions these elixirs are a new sensory experience for the Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual bodies or PEMS. 

Big topic.  Big medicine.

Jamie Lynn Thomas presents Cannabis Flower Essences & Fibromyalgia – A 6 Week Protocol.  This class outlines a 6 week topical energetic protocol using the Cannabis plant spirit to transform fibromyalgia symptoms and decrease PEMS (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual bodies) pain. Every person who has used the essences for fibromyalgia has seen some shift in their PEMS pain and 70% have total resolution of acute symptoms. The protocol is so simple it takes less than 15 minutes to complete and 30 minutes with clinical check ins.

Jamie Lynn Thomas presents Cannabis Dosing Strategies for Pain Using Eclectic Percolations. These special Eclectic extractions are rarely available in the Cannabis recreational or MMJ (medical) markets. A class demonstration of an Eclectic percolation will set up any medicine maker to prepare and use the drop dose strategies that are highlighted in the case and formulary examples. Attendees will be invited to sample the finished Eclectic percolation and sense for themselves the power of the Eclectics. 

   “I currently have 2 clients who have replaced their use of morphine with drop doses of my Eclectic percolation formula for the past 2 years”               

This class supports the empowered education of herbalists and their clients.  By practicing empowered education, this resolves the practitioner of the risk for dispensing medicines, especially in non legal states. Instead, the herbalist or practitioner acts as a consultant educator who empowers the client to take control of their vital health and decrease their pain.
