Do you want to make powerful herbal medicines that actually work?

We are here to show you how to confidently make strong and effective herbal medicine.

Herbs can safely take care of so many of your health needs. However, knowing how to make effective herbal remedies is critical to your success.

With the rising popularity of natural remedies, the Internet has become flooded with everything from herbal fads to free yet dangerous advice.

As a result, trying to learn about herbs can often feel haphazard and overwhelming as you attempt to sort through information that is flat-out wrong, outdated, or overly simplified. This can lead to confusion and weak herbal medicines.

For example, if you search online for “how to make herbal tea,” you will get tens of thousands of pages of information. Most of those offer the simple instructions of “place 1 teaspoon of herb in a cup of water for 5 minutes.” 

Yikes! 

If that is your sole approach to making teas, you will be continually disappointed with the results and probably have years of trial and error. 

Rooted Medicine Circle gives you clear training so that you can make potent herbal medicines with confidence.

Learning effective medicine making skills is an important step to herbal success. But it's just the beginning...

What's the real secret to making successful herbal remedies?

Today, we see a lot of emphasis put on what herbs are good for.

Take turmeric for inflammation! Dandelion root for the liver! 

However, when we reduce plants to a simple equation of take xyz herb for xyz problem, the heart and soul of herbal medicine is erased. 

Herbalism isn't about throwing back dropperfuls of a tincture. It's about transforming your life by becoming deeply rooted in the natural world, its seasonal rhythms, and your place within it.

The real secret to making successful herbal remedies is connection.

What sounds more healing to you?

Deeply healing herbal medicine goes beyond what herb you take, and encompasses your relationship to the earth, the plants, and their medicines.

Herbal medicine rooted in your connection to nature and made with your own hands has the most powerful benefits — for your personal healing, community well-being, and the health of our planet.

We're here to guide you along the way.

I have been chipping at this as best as I can for several years, but this is the course that made it happen. This is the type of experience where an initial investment of money transforms into something else entirely: community, a sense of place, and healing."

"Rooted Medicine Circle is a one-of-a-kind learning experience you will not regret. It's like having Rosalee and Emily at your side as you journey through making all kinds of medicines and getting to know the plants. They left no stone unturned, offering office hours, support, and ways for the community to connect.

Can't I just learn this information for free online?

You might be wondering why we would offer a course when there’s so much free information already out there. 

Here’s the thing: if you are someone who loves spending hours sorting through lots of confusing misinformation, and you don’t mind making a lot of unnecessary mistakes along the way, then you will be happy sticking with Google searches. 

But if you are ready to get experienced advice so that you can make potent herbal medicines without years of trial and error, then you’ll love Rooted Medicine Circle. 

The truth is that a lot of the free information out there is flat-out wrong, outdated, or overly simplified in a way that leads to confusion and weak herbal medicines.

For example, should you make a tea? Or a tincture? Is the plant best fresh or dried? How do you know what you are making is safe? Or effective? It’s easy to get stuck before you even begin. With our guidance, you will break through the confusion so you can get started right away. 

Our approach to herbal medicine making is based on decades of experience, both as makers ourselves, as well as helping thousands of students along the way. Our information is straightforward, practical, and nuanced. 

With Rooted Medicine Circle, you’ll be crafting exceptional herbal medicines without making costly and frustrating mistakes. 

But this course isn’t just about learning the facts of medicine making. It’s also about deepening your relationship with plants and infusing your life with connection, wonder, and joy. Rooted Medicine Circle will help you prioritize and sink into the rhythms of the natural world around you. 

Do I need to have cooking, foraging, or gardening experience to make potent herbal medicines?

Making exceptional herbal medicines requires knowledge and skill, but this doesn’t mean that you have to be an expert in the kitchen. 

Our approach to herbal medicine is accessible and down-to-earth. Our success is seeing your success! We are committed to answering your questions and giving you essential tips for making potent remedies without being overly complicated. We are known for creative and simple recipes that become family favorites, ones that you reach for frequently. 

And while this course accentuates getting to know the plants and other beings that live around you, foraging, wildcrafting, or gardening is not required. We provide resources to help you find quality herbs without growing or harvesting them yourself. However, if you do decide to harvest plants, we have ample materials to support you.
