This course covers simple and complex formulation strategies, relevant to all forms of herbal medicines.

Starting with simple pairs and trios, we'll progress to working with teams, triangulation, and modular formulation techniques.

The course includes videos teaching you formulation techniques and videos walking through various formulas so that you can see exactly how they're put together. There are also printable PDF worksheets, and a discussion forum where you can talk directly with Ryn and Katja. Have a formula you can't quite figure out? Just let us know and we'll build a video about it!

A formula allows for specificity - targeted action for individual variation.

    I have taken herbalism classes that briefly went over formulating, but I never felt like I was really understanding it that well. Katja and Ryn do such a great job explaining it in a way that is easy to understand. The examples that they go over really helped me to get a better understanding of which herbs to choose and why. I feel much more confident when formulating now.

    Two heads are better than one!

    Katja & Ryn almost always teach together. They each have particular talents and areas of interest, and their perspectives on certain issues are quite different! Together, they convey a fuller picture of the realities of herbal theory & practice than either one could do alone.
