Education/certification in classical Chinese herbology and environmental health sciences

    RMHI's international certification programs provide individuals, independent herbalists, and health professionals worldwide with modern tools to transform the ancient art and science of Chinese herbal medicine into an effective health care option for the 21st century — interactive-game and expert-system software, clinical reference databases and study guides, distance-learning/home-study courses, brainstorming-crowdsourcing network, on-site courses.
    This system of knowledge encompasses not only 'Chinese' herbs, but provides a basis for understanding the effects of all herbs, foods, environmental quality, exercise, music, art, and social/economic life on human health.

2017 Sep 25:   Improvements to our website

Over the preceding years, we have added major new features to our programs and curriculum, and our website tended to lag in keeping up with all these changes. In 2017, we did a lot of pruning, reorganizing, and simplifying. The four most important pages on our website, which will answer the vast majority of visitors' questions, appear above in our main table of contents, highlighted in bold.

 

How will a knowledge of classical Chinese herbology benefit your clinical practice?

Our website contains many full-length articles on Chinese herbology. The following articles focus on revealing key differences between classical Chinese herbology and western, or European, styles of herbalism. The last two articles explain worldwide trends in politics, economics, education, and regulation that every herbalist and aspiring herbalist should consider before making important business and career choices.
