Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism

While these are not exclusively female problems—except the last—they are more common in adult women and very often common and up for consideration as part of the reproductive picture. Anyone with a yeast infection or cystitis would benefit from this discussion, but the class is aimed to integrate with the rest of the program.



Join us for just this class or the entire series!

Everyone interested in this subject must catch this assemblage of two highly experienced herbalists with over 75 years of clinical experience between them.

We cover the topics of menarche, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, menopause, and everything in-between (except fertility - handled in another class), but it will do so from several different perspectives. It goes without saying that two herbalists will have two perspectives, but beyond that, we are referring to (1) analysis in terms of hormones, (2) analysis in terms of tissues (ligaments, mucosa, muscles, pelvic floor, etc.), and (3) the relationship between the immune system, sympathetic and reproductive function.  Female reproductive cancers will largely not be discussed here.

"I know I will learn a lot myself and can hardly wait for these classes."
