Testimonials

Herbal Constituents: The Essential Intro is a new class, so we're sharing these testimonials from graduates of HC 1 & 2, the comprehensive course:

“After taking this course I look at interactions of herbal medicine and the human constitution in an entirely new light. A beautiful blending of science, historical craft and the art of medicine making that is guaranteed to elevate your skillset.” - Adi Leigh, Brasstown, NC

"For anyone interested in registering for Lisa Ganora’s Herbals Constituents - The Essential Intro, I cannot recommend her programs enough! The delivery of Lisa’s phytochemistry courses create a fun and supportive environment for success of each student and understanding the chemistry of the plants has really filled a missing link in my knowledge during my medicine making because I now understand the “why” behind my extractions." - Colleen Howe, Clinical Herbalist

"Lisa Ganora’s ‘Herbal Constituents‘ course should be part of every Herbalist’s education at some point in their career, in my humble opinion. Why? Because what Lisa teaches in her own very engaging style (with leading Bastyr-trained Herbalist Kat Martello) are the very keys to the scientific mysteries that underpin the potent power of medicinal plants. I say this as somebody who has dedicated their entire life to medicinal and aromatic plants, and who has attended the full Herbal Constituents course… as well as courses held by other contemporary herbal experts." - Gabriel Mojay, Founder, The Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy

"Taking the Herbal Constituents course with Lisa and her team has been the most rewarding academic experience on my herbal journey. From the depth of the material to the unwavering support from Lisa and her team, this course excels in every way. They don’t just ensure understanding at all levels; they go above and beyond, answering questions and providing thorough explanations and examples both during the weekly live class and afterward through email and the forums. If you have ever wondered how a plant's phytochemistry relates to its diverse medicinal actions and how these insights can guide effective formulation, then this is a program you need to take!" - Cindy Syzmandera
