Frequently asked questions
Is it a phytotherapy course for beginners?
The module starts from the types of preparation and moves to interactions and cases. Basic health knowledge helps.
What sources are the lessons based on?
EMA/HMPC and ESCOP monographs, guidelines and clinical studies, listed at the end of every lesson.
Does it qualify me as a phytotherapist?
No. It is professional training, not a qualification, and gives no right to practise.
