2023 Winner of a Free place on the Discovering Herbal Medicine Online Course

The winner of our 2023 Competition for a free place of the Discovering Herbal Medicine online course, Stephanic Cleridou says she is “really excited and looking forward” to begin her studies.  She correctly named the 6 photos of medicinal plants in the Competition, along with 8 other people who entered.

Stephanie was chosen as the Winner of the Competition on the basis of her answer to the question “what does herbal medicine mean to me?”.  She has sent us this photo of herself and has let us use the following extract from her winning ‘tie-breaker’.

"....for me herbal medicine means using plants to treat all different kinds of health conditions and for the improvement of wellbeing. It means exploring the natural pathways that our ancestors used in order to recover from illnesses. It means teaching my children the power and benefits of using herbs in their everyday life. Herbal medicine is a way of life that should have been a lesson taught in every school." 

We were particularly pleased to see that not only is she keen to learn more about the use of herbal medicine for the health of herself and family, but she sees herbal medicine in the broader context of human wellbeing, making the connection between what our ancestors have taught us and the need to cherish that knowledge for future generations.

Discovering Herbal Medicine Course NOW Online!

 
It has taken a year to get the Discovering  Herbal Medicine online, but I am delighted that I have had the opportunity and  time to conserve, update and rebrand this legacy distance learning course.  Accredited by the British Herbal Medicine  Association, DHM has been delivered for over 40 years in mailed-out format, but  this version will cease as soon as the current students have completed their  studies.

Putting DHM online will make it more readily available to a wider audience both in the UK and abroad.DHM has been designed to enable the herbal enthusiast to explore the healing relationship between the human body in health and disease and the wonderful remedial properties of herbs that herbal practitioners use on an everyday basis.

This one-year course is not a practitioner course, as the amount of information that can be covered in one year is clearly limited. However, it does provide the opportunity to absorb the essence of the relationship between human health and plant medicine without resorting to an enormous amount of clinical detail. Having said that, this is not a superficial course and does require considerable application and fundamental interest in the power of nature.

For more information and to purchase the course go to www.newvitalitytuition.com.

The cost of the full course (four Stages comprising twelve Modules) is £700 and there is an introductory discount of £125 using the code “intro2021” which is valid until the end of April. Alternatively, each of the four Stages can be purchased independently for £185.
