BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL

RESPECTING THE SOURCE - In all of our teaching, we strive to both acknowledge and celebrate the original cultures who used these plants for medicine... We teach a sensory approach to the basics of Chinese medicine, with an emphasis on how to integrate these introductory concepts into a western herbal practices. The principles of Chinese medicine help us understand the body better and start thinking in terms of patterns of imbalances so that we can better choose what plants to use for whom. While we implement basic Chinese Medicine principles into our understanding of herbs, we are still a Western Herbalism school... EMPOWER - Herbal medicine is at its heart a folk medicine that continues to be validated by science and experience. We believe that all people deserve access to plant medicine, and we support the ability of herbalists to earn a living providing care for their community.
