The Class

Matthew Wood and Phyllis D. Light - North and South, forty years of practice and four generations of family herbalism between them - sit down together to open up holistic herbal evaluation. What it is, why it matters, and how an herbalist learns to read a person instead of a list of symptoms. It is the same teaching the full course is built on, and it is free.

What You Will Learn

  • How holistic assessment differs from matching an herb to a complaint
  • Why the pulse, the face, and the tongue tell you things a questionnaire cannot
  • What a practicing herbalist needs to know before taking a first client
  • Where to go next if this is the work you want to do

It covers the legal, ethical, and business ground first, then the clinical skills: energetic and constitutional assessment, tastes and the herbal repertory, selecting singles and formulas, assessment from the blood and pulse, the face and color, the tongue, the mind and emotions, the digestive tract, and reading a blood test. Nine clinical application classes let you sit in while Matthew and Phyllis work with real clients. One payment of $795 gives you a year to view, review, and ask questions.
