Extremely Unique and Fascinating!

One of the most enjoyed courses of the Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism.
Clinical skills are the most difficult to develop in herbal medicine and the least available in the educational realm. Two experienced herbalists, Matthew Wood and Seán Pádraig O'Donoghue are pioneering an online approach to alternative, holistic, and traditional herbal assessment and evaluation. Seán has a more emotional, soul-based approach, while Matthew has a more physical, body-based approach. Both believe in the importance of the spirit in medicine and healing, although that is a topic that tends to eclipse the classroom. This class will, therefore, be stimulating for the students and for the teachers – which will make it even more exciting.
