I would love to learn things such as Eastern herbs, Western herbs, botany, holistic medicines, homeopathy, etc. I talked to a guy in town who specializes in all of the following, but after talking to him and asking how do I learn, he told me that he went to a place called Clayton School of Holistic Health. I looked the place up and seemed to be a real good place to study, however, I also found a review online that said that the place was not only a joke, but was not properly accredited and was also far too high for the amount of info they give you.
And with that being the guys only means of knowledge, I am a hell of alot more skeptical of going back to the guy in the future. I looked around where I live and even at the community colleges around me, and there is nothing for any of the following. Well there is botany, but the only way to take it is through an associates degree and my job doesnt allow me any other way of learning except for distance learning.
Any help from anyone who has studied this, or is a practioner, any advice I would appreciate. Please nothing on how I cant teach myself by going online, I can teach myself, and I also know that it wont get me in the door as an expert at any places, but I know I’ll atleast learn the basics.
Any help would be very appreciated, any online schools, books, dvds, websites, anything where I can learn alot. Also, if I dont go through a school, is there a way to get a license or a certification, kind of like how you can take a test to become a licensed pharmacy tech. Thanks.
