It is a good match for me and I am enjoying it. The only problem I had was when I had an ear infection I could not do the course as I could not hear properly and there is no transcripts or subtitles to help do the course. Apart from that it has been a very good.

Easy to understand and follow up recipes. Elizabeth has a calming way of explaining her lessons. It's an excellent introduction to herbal medicine, covering key herbs and their uses for natural health and wellness.

So glad to get more information on natural healing. Western medicine is so heavy on addictive, damaging pills and treatments. I want to make use of the natural products and practices available all around us. The instructor is very knowledgeable and very easy to listen to. Great course so far!

This course got me excited about the medicine kit. I plan on making one for everyone in our family. I'm making lists now for what I need to grow. I would also like to take some of Miss Heck's other classes.

Some of the ingreadients ive never heard before it would have been nice if she would have done and ingredient document for everthing so i could see spelling. She also could have done better with catergorizing and oranizing the different teas and oils.
