Diploma in Herbal Medicine
Want to be a Herbalist?
With all the ills besetting us today, people are seeking a kinder, gentler way to heal.
That’s why there’s a move towards alternative methods of treating diseases and conditions. And one of the most popular is medical herbalism.
Kinder and gentler
Gentler than conventional pharmaceuticals, with fewer side effects, and more environmentally sensitive, herbalism has become so popular that it’s been absorbed into the mainstream. It’s even being practised by conventional doctors.
There’s a big demand for good herbalists, and the field is growing every day. Herbalists make good money, help people lead healthier lives, and can usually determine their own hours and work from home. It’s a wonderful, fulfilling way to make a living and give yourself time for your family, friends and activities.
Now, you can become a herbalist in the comfort of your own home – and reap all of the income and lifestyle benefits of this fast-growing field. Not to mention feeling wonderful about helping others feel good.
How?
Through The Blackford Centre you can earn a Diploma in Herbal Medicine – without having to commute to classes, rearrange your schedule, or spend a lot of money on books, tuition or lectures.
You can study the course online at home, and there’s a printed edition that comes to your door. There’s no pressure – and we give you lots of support.

There’s no need to buy expensive books or reference materials. The course includes a complete range of study materials and ongoing online support.

I have my own website (which needs updating) shewolfshamanictherapies.com. I do herbal consultations, run shamanic workshops and teach meditation and other stuff and also have my own range of teas which are currently selling in two shops. I did go on to do more courses on herbalism and flower remedies. Right now am just concentrating on building up my website.

After finishing the program I started working as an herbalist. I give consultations and hold workshops on detoxification of the body.
My husband and I also opened a family farm where we grow medicinal herbs. We use them to produce 100% natural products called “Vesna’s Naturals”: cosmetics, teas, tinctures and products for detoxification of the body. Our products are sold via social media and a recently completed web shop: www.vesnasnaturals.com.
