There is strong demand for alternatives to pharmaceuticals for a variety of common illnesses due to concerns of safety, efficacy, and a desire for more “natural” products. Despite this growing interest, “conventional” healthcare providers may have little to no knowledge about herbal medicines, which is further compounded by the sometimes misleading information in the media and on the internet. This course provides the necessary background for providers to begin to incorporate herbal medicines into their practice, particularly in regards to their therapeutic properties, efficacy (or lack thereof), and safety concerns, including quality control and potential adverse effects.

Briana CocozzoVery disappointed with this program. It is stated on this site that this course would be free. When I decided to take the course it took my off this site and on to another. Once I tried to start the class it said I would have to pay $40 monthly to take this course. This course should not be advertised as free if it will end up being almost $300. -
