The Twelve-Herb Apothecary with Pamela Spence, MNIMH

What if you had to run your herbal apothecary on just twelve herbs? Could you do it? Does the thought fill you with horror? Or are you just starting out and have no idea what herbs to choose? In this class you’ll learn how to rationalize your apothecary, or start from scratch, with twelve key herbal allies, allowing you to support most common health challenges.

Class Description:

In this masterclass, Medical Herbalist and Herbal Academy Lead Educator Pamela Spence takes us through the twelve key herbs she would choose to run an efficient working dispensary or home apothecary. By deepening our knowledge of each herb, as our ancestors did, when limited by what they could grow or forage, you’ll learn what to rely on when money is tight, space is at a premium, and sustainability is a key consideration. 

It’s so easy to get caught up buying an herb for an ailment after reading about it or hearing someone enthuse about it, and you feel you just HAVE to have it. While we all do it, it can erode our depth of understanding of each herb, often leaving us remembering only the headlines. Join Pamela to deep dive into twelve herbs selected to support her Western herbalism practice and dispensary, deepen your knowledge of some common herbs, and decide which twelve herbs would be indispensable to your own needs.
