Professionally Relevant Learning
This module forms part of ICTIM’s broader educational offering in herbal and integrative medicine and supports continued learning in culture, health, and traditional medical systems.
My first contact with herbal medicine was through the ICTIM. They taught me important things about herbal science, but they also taught me to see the herbs as a living being, that interacts with people and all the environment. Understanding that herbs are part of the universe and thus we are somehow connected with them, and with everything else, has changed my way of thinking the therapeutic process entirely.
