Clinical Master Herbalist Diploma Course

We have designed our Certified Master Herbalist diploma course as an excellent stand-alone program. It is foundational and a prerequisite for a online Certified Clinical Master Herbalist (CMH) diploma course. To simply the process, we built the Master Herbalist training requirements into the phases of study for the CMH. Designing our programs to combine and build upon each other saves our students both time and money.

A Certified Clinical Master Herbalist is a title that denotes proficiency in the use of herbs and natural health strategies. Work as an herbalist often varies with the individual’s talents as well as the desired expression of such knowledge and creativity. This is where it gets exciting. For instance, some herbalists are avid foragers and know much about plant identification, growth and habitats, as well as the medicinal and/or food uses of plants – a study called botany. Other herbalists are professional seed savers, farmers, or gardeners that specialize in providing plants for other gardeners, medicinal, or culinary use.

Still others like to compound herbs and make herbal remedies such as infusions, decoctions, tinctures, salves, creams, medicinal syrups, suppositories, and encapsulations. Yet others find creativity and fulfillment in formulating lines of natural cosmetics, bath and body products, household cleaners, and personal hygiene items.

Some herbalists work in retail helping customers make the right product selections while others work in an herbal apothecary setting selling herbs by weight, or mixing herbal blends to help with specific ailments. However, most commonly, clinical herbalists are self-employed professional consultants who observe and assess clients to offer natural solutions for their health issues and to maintain proper wellness.

The field of study called herbalism is the practice of utilizing plant materials in a manner that supports the body’s ability to maintain wellness and to heal itself. In times past, herbalism was known as the “medicine of the people.” Herbal artisans were called “healers” or the “apothecary.” In modern times these same people would be called herbalists. Your studies will include the vast knowledge that traditional herbalism has provided and the modern view of herbal constituents and scientific studies.

If you are interested in herbs and are unsure of what your long term goals might “look like,” relax, you have time. It is not unusual for a vision to develop as our students progress through the online Master Herbalist or Clinical Master Herbalist diploma course at Genesis School of Natural Health.
