Most common herbs are safe and easy to work with, especially in culinary dishes. However, allergies differ from person to person, so be sure you’re always safely testing herbs you have never worked with before to ensure there are no allergic reactions. If there are heavy concerns, consult with your doctor before use of any herbs you are not familiar with. This is especially important when using herbs for medicinal purposes.

Before substituting medicinal herbs for prescription, we encourage our members to consult with a professional or your doctor. The information in this course is for educational purposes, however, we are not doctors and cannot prescribe any treatment in replacement of your current one. Just like with all things, do your own research and talk to a professional before undergoing any treatments you are not familiar with. Herbalism is a wonderful and natural way in approaching everyday ailments, but only when done properly with research and education.
