Hiya Mullein - welcome to the Ishers!

Whereabouts in Scotland can you study herbal medicine?

(And just ignore MKG's remark - you'll get used to him...

)

Changes on a daily basis! The official answer is to practice as a Herbalist but sometimes I think I'd rather be a gardener - maybe i'll do both...

You can do an honours degree in Glasgow at the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine or in Edinburgh at Napier Uni. I'm at Napier - it's a mind-numbing commute but it's not forever.

Thanks for the welcome folks

So I suppose you don't live in Edinburgh... Had no idea there was a degree course for that - you live and learn! Well, be prepared we'll come to you with all sorts of questions!!!

I have an ancient book on herbs and what you can do with them - mind you, it's a German book, so I suppose some of the herbs might not be so common here - but I've found it very valuable. The drawings and the descriptions of the plants are brilliant, too - better than I've found in some modern books with pretty photographs!

Hmm, a course on herbal medicine - sounds fascinating!

Love the idea of any form of more contemporary medicine, hence doing a hypnotherapy course. Good luck with the rest of the course!

Oh and by the way, welcome
