Susun Weed offers several online courses at wisewomanschool.com although the most comprehensive one is not cheap. But I studied with her years ago and loved it. April Graham of She Is Of The Woods has a YouTube channel that teaches a lot of the same stuff. Susun Weed also has a lot of short YouTubes that teach. I prefer that school of herbalism to most others because it’s VERY hands on. I think the main thing is to get right out in your own area and see what grows and follow their growth from spring through next winter. Work with them directly, learn to identify them, when to harvest them, best uses, how to plant some in your own medicinal garden. Herbalism that is all about ordering a bunch of dried plant materials and putting it up in capsules and jars isn’t really herbalism. It’s pharmacology, which is fine, but it’s not going to help you learn how to work with the plants themselves which is ever so much more powerful. The living plants are almost (as in nearly 100%) always more powerful medicinally gathered fresh and locally than dead plants that you have no idea how long they’ve been sitting in bags on shelves somewhere. And working with the plants, you begin to understand botany so when you come across a new plant, it’s easier to identify and then apply because you recognize plant characteristics that have common applications medicinally (although you still should make sure you’ve identified them properly). Using this approach, you will likely find an abundant medicine chest right outside your door, locally, and then you can order what doesn’t grow locally. Plus, you’ll find things grow in waves. I find certain weeds take over some years, for example, something might be growing like mad this year that helps with bronchia and it does so because the next winter might be a bad flu season. I see this happen every year. I’ll go back to a field to get more of what I got the previous year only to find something completely different has taken over and then find that year its benefits are much needed.

I have not heard of Cindi Quay. I was introduced to Dr. Patrick Jones by Carolyn and Josh Thomas on their Homesteading family YouTube channel. Dr. Jones, and his family have an herbalist school, store, and YouTube channel. I have learned so much super valuable information from his youtube channel. I have also purchased their grounded herbs, simply amazing!
Hope this helps.
