What's Included In This Course:
33 Information-Packed Lessons Covering Identification and Medicinal Uses of Common Southern Plants
Over the past decade I’ve noticed a huge rising interest in natural plant medicine. Many people are trying to avoid pharmaceuticals unless absolutely necessary, and would much rather take something that grows right out of the ground.
In this course we’ll take a detailed look at native medicinal plants in the Southeast region. I’ll walk you step-by-step through the whole medicine making process so that you feel completely equipped to harvest the useful plants around you and make medicine all on your own!
We’ll look at remedies for arthritis and joint pain, allergies, sciatica and nerve pain, liver health, heart health, low energy and fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and much more!
Detailed Herbal Medicine Making Directions with Preparation and Dosage Information for Each Plant
Have you ever learned about a medicinal plant but were left wondering, "Ok, but how do I actually use it?"
For every plant in this course I include a recommended preparation method and standard starting dosage, that way you know exactly the right amount to begin using as you experiment with each plant.
We'll also look at how to prepare standard infusions, decoctions, and tinctures, a skill that you can apply to many different plants, not just those covered in this course.
Printable "1-Page" Plant Profiles So You Can Learn Plants Quickly and Identify Them With Confidence Once You Find Them
My 1-page plant profiles will make learning new medicinal plants a breeze. Simply scan through the pictures for a few minutes each day, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you start finding them!
Each profile shows multiple parts of the plant, with a focus on key identification features so you can be 100% sure you have the right plant.
To make a confident ID, all you have to do is match each feature of the plant in front of you to numbers listed on the profile. If the plant you’re trying to identify matches each feature, you know you have the right plant!
These profiles are designed to help students memorize important plant features and learn important botanical terms without being too complicated for a beginner to use. I’ve even included red numbers that correspond to identification features, making using them easy and intuitive.
Each profile also summarizes important edible or medicinal uses for each plant to give you a starting point for further research. (These have big a hit with students!)
Lastly, the profiles can be downloaded to your phone for use in the field, or downloaded to your computer so you can print them and have access to the information without access to internet or electricity.

Medicinal Plants Research Guide (Step-by-Step Video Guide with PDF Checklist)
You've heard the saying "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime"...
As a foraging instructor I have the same approach. I don’t want to just show you a handful of edible and medicinal plants then send you on your way… I want to teach you how to learn, so that after the course is over you feel confident and equipped to find reliable information on how to use the common plants growing in your area to treat everyday ailments.
One of the ways I’m going to accomplish that is with my Medicinal Plants Research Guide. This video guide and downloadable checklist shows you the exact step-by-step process I use when I find a new plant and want to start using it.
This guide was made as a step-by-step “follow along” to use during your research. Once you’ve picked a plant you want to know more about, you’ll download the checklist, play the video, and follow each step, pausing the video as you complete each action. By the end of it, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve learned and how much confidence you’ve gained to actually use the plant you’re learning about!

Check Out the Map Below to See the Exact Region This Course Covers...
To ensure that each student is able to find the plants we cover in class, Medicinal Plants of the Southeast covers a specific region of the Southern U.S. known as the Coastal Plain.
Plant life in this region is similar from end to end, so that students anywhere in the green area on the map will easily be able to locate plants that we talk about in class in their immediate area.
As you start to move outside of this region, plant life slowly starts to change. If you live to the north of this region, most of the plants we discuss will still grow in your area, as plant life is pretty similar throughout the whole Eastern U.S.
If you live west of the green area in central Oklahoma or central Texas, or if you live in the southern tip of Florida, there will still be some overlap, but keep in mind that plant life changes more drastically in those areas.
I'm so sure that you'll love Medicinal Plants of the Southeast that I offer a 7 Day Money-Back Guarantee. If for ANY REASON you don’t like the program, you have 7 days after you purchase the course to change your mind and ask for a refund. No hassle, no hard feelings.
When you enroll today there’s absolutely no risk involved. If you feel like the course ends up not being what you expected, all you have to do is ask for your money back. It’s that simple.
Customer service is my top priority, so if you have any questions or concerns you can expect a quick and responsive reply to get them taken care of.

What If I Don't Live in the Green Area on the Map?
