What is Herbal Medicine?

A ‘medicine’ is a substance that has curative, nutritive or preventative properties.

When we use the term ‘herbal’ we are referring to a botanical, plant-based preparation.

So, the term herbal medicine is the exclusive use of plants to treat or prevent disease. These medicines can also be used to enhance general health and wellbeing. It is also referred to as herbalism or botanical medicine.

Herbal medicine is the oldest and most widely used system of medicine in the world today.

Our tutors are always available to one-on-one support you via email or a phone call if necessary.

We are proud of the high-quality tutor support we provide from our highly qualified tutors.

Our assessments are designed is such a way that the student feels confident to move forward in the course as they complete each assessment. The feedback from the tutor not only reaffirms the student’s learning process but also gives an opportunity to the student to interact with the tutor regularly. Students are never penalised when their assignment work needs to be improved, rather they are given constructive feedback and requested to resubmit the section where they need improvement. Students do their assignment work at their own pace within the course duration and are not restricted by any deadlines which is the beauty of self-paced learning. The assessments will make the certificate achieved more credible and valuable to the student.
