This course is based off the book, Everyday Herbalism, that Iya Ifayomi has written. In this class, we'll be discussing concepts on What Black Herbalism is and the history between Black America & the field of medicine. We also cover different aspects of reading the body and common herbs that you can use for medicine. This course is a direct apprenticeship with Iya Ifayomi and takes place both online and in person.
