Welcome to Cherokee Herbal Studies This is a 12 Lesson course. We are pleased that you decided to learn about the Medicine of the Cherokee and our Plant Helpers through this course.

"I cannot be happier that we will share some fun and healing moments with our Plant Helpers. The information regarding herbal medicine is enormous. I wish that I could share everything there is to know about these wonderful helpers. What I hope to share with you is enough basics that you can safely begin this journey of Mother Earths bounty and confidently use herbs and herbal products on a daily basis. There is a tremendous value to understanding their properties and knowing how to incorporate them into your healing options."

In no way do we encourage or endorse replacing practical and needed assistance from the Medical field and your personal physician. If you are ill, seek help and diagnosis from your medical doctor. Understanding herbs can help you to increase your options and ability to heal and avoid using herbs that are not compatible with current prescription medicines. Herbal medicine is very powerful, and we encourage a great amount of respect for this gift of Mother.

After this course we hope you continue your studies and research. There is so much to learn. An educated person in the ways and properties of herbs is a responsible person. This can truly have a profound effect on your health and guiding others to well being.

Everything we need to live happy and healthy lives is extended to us from our Earth Mother, and our Universal relations.

We hope you will find this course different from most. In addition to learning herbs and their traditional uses in teas and balms, we hope to teach you alternative ways to use them, Metaphysically and in Native Medicine. We will be learning "The way of right relationships" with our plant helpers and embracing different perspectives of alternative medicine. Our focus is on herbs but will include other aspects of Cherokee Medicine, the rule of opposites, medicine of the four directions and how the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects of these directions is directly related to how the herbs are used to create a balanced formula.

Creator lives within all things and we will learn to listen to the voices of our Plant Helpers. We will learn how to use water as a healer, when no herb can be used safely..
