The unique aspect of herbology courses is that while students can enroll on a physical campus, there are a growing number of home study courses that are available to the homebound student or working adult student.
Although the curriculum and length of the program may vary in holistic health schools, common studies included in herbology courses are anatomy, physiology, nutrition, health, and herbs; herbal properties, herbal preparations, herbal identification, herbal cultivation, and herbal cooking, among others.
Some of the fascinating topics presented to students in herbology courses are herbal teas and bath procedures, herbal oils, infusions, liniments, ointments, powdered herbal mixtures, smearing (sometimes burning herbs or incense facilitated as a purifier, cleanser or for protection), how to grow plants and more.
Depending on which of the herbology courses you sign up for, you may be able to choose electives in aromatherapy, essential oils, acupressure and reflexology, as well as other natural healing therapies and techniques.
While there are a large number of certificate and/or diploma courses in herbology, some alternative medicine colleges have begun offering degree programs in herbal sciences. These programs can take up to two years to complete and often require prior education from an accredited school or university.
