What our students say:
I really enjoyed the course. Lorna and Jill’s knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious!
I liked having the opportunity to try samples of herbs during the class, see specimens of plants and have a practical demonstration session. I wish I had known about this course when I was younger but as a 51 year old, I found it invaluable for both my own health as well as that of friends and family. I can thoroughly recommend this course to any age group.

About the Course
Herbs for Everyday Living – a short evening course in herbal medicine
Herbs for Everyday Living gives an introduction to Western herbal medicine and naturopathic traditions, to gain a better understanding of the most common and exciting everyday herbs to use as medicines and as foods. This course gives you this knowledge to make herbs accessible and uncomplicated for all.
As an introductory level course, we welcome anyone with an interest in herbs and plants, whether a long-term passion, or a new curiosity.
This course is for you if you’d like to know:
- How the herbs in your kitchen cupboard, or growing in your garden or park, could be used for more than cooking
- Which herbs and foods can be used to support optimal health, for common everyday complaints, or to support different life stages such as childhood, pregnancy or the menopause
- What the herbal medicines or herbal foods you see in shops can safely be used for
- How to make herbal preparations for yourself, friends, and family
- How to safely cleanse and detoxify using herbs and food, and how to support different organs
- How to choose one herb over another for different people and situations
This course is taught in an interactive, fun and friendly style to make anyone feel welcome, however limited or vast their existing knowledge. No formal qualifications or experience is required. Students will have the chance to work in groups in class under the lecturer’s supervision to devise herbal, naturopathic and nutritional advice for common ailments and conditions.
In session 8 we demonstrate about 7-8 herbal recipes on the evening, bringing alive the herbal formula’s that have been taught during the 12 week course. Students will have little tasters and be able to take away 1-2 samples as well.
Who should come on this course?
Our students range from those with no background in health (e.g. lawyers, housewives) and healing to those who work in or have studied other types of complementary medicine (e.g. aromatherapists, nutritional therapists), and even those trained in conventional/allopathic medicine (nurses, midwives and doctors).
This course complements CNM’s other short courses, such as Nutrition for Everyday Living, and Natural Skincare, and is an ideal introduction to the benefits of natural health and using herbs for yourself or your family. If you are thinking of training for a new career in herbal medicine, please ask about our diploma courses, which equip students for a successful career in their chosen natural therapy.
