Traditional Chinese Medication (TCM) Herbology
Why spend more than 5 years from acupuncture specialized school that all you want is to know and learn the TCM theory, applications of herbs and green plants, and maintain healthy and wellness in natural ways?

Studying herbalism is like a gift inside a gift. Many individuals study herbalism for the pure enjoyment of learning how to use these valuable green plants we often call weeds. Others study so they can learn how to take care of themselves and their families. Some individuals begin their studies of herbal medicine to start their own businesses, with the intention of selling herbs and body care products to their communities. And then there are those who delve into the complicated world of plant medicine to practice clinical herbalism.
