Master Herbalist

The Master Herbalist Diploma teaches healing practices of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as taking a more in depth approach to using Western herbal medicines for specific pathologies.

As a Master Herbalist, you will have the knowledge to begin forging a career in Herbal medicine. Whether your interest lies in building a practice, creating your own plant medicine, teaching, formulating a produce line or whatever you choose to pursue, at this stage a professional aspect begins to emerge. As a herbalist in the industry, you will be ready to begin blossoming into your new profession!

We recommend students concurrently take or continue onto our Clinical Herbalist program to get practicum experience in a clinic setting working alongside Certified Clinical Herbalists.

Please note that our Practical Herbalist Diploma program is a prerequisite for the Master Herbalist program.

Our courses at Wild Rose College of Natural Healing are designed so the most casual or serious learner can take part. Our timelines and delivery ensure you will be able to participate in our in-depth teachings while working or maintaining other commitments.

All courses can be completed online and at your own pace.

All Wild Rose College Courses & Diploma Programs include downloadable .pdf course manuals. Wild Rose College does offer the option to optionally add coiled and bound printed course manuals upon initial registration (or you may alternatively purchase as few or as many as you like at any time during your studies).

Purchasing printed course manuals is not required, however some students prefer the printed and bound manuals to study off-line, so it is entirely a personal preference. We are also able to offer them at a competitive price and there may be a cost savings to printing them yourself.
