Herbal Education Classes and Certifications at the Northeast Holistic Center

In order in educate the public, as well as the health practitioner, about the exploding trend in the use of herbal products in lieu of allopathic and chemical medication, the Northeast Holistic Center presents herbal education classes. These classes explore different herbs, their uses and means of administering them appropriately. Some classes also include herbal walks for the purpose of learning what the herbs look like in their natural setting.

We offer classes, lectures, and a certification course (called Basic Herbal Care) in herbal education. Basic Herbal Care is also offered as a correspondence course. Please visit our calendar for upcoming classes, or call us for more information or to schedule a lecture.
