Healing the Brain Through Healing the Gut

Best Natural Medicine Classes in NYC

The study of natural medicine can be divided into particular specializations including phytotherapy, mycology, and yoga. Medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years to treat common ailments. Clay tablets dating to approximately 3,000 BC contain lists of herbs and other plants used by the ancient Sumerians, including myrrh, aloe, garlic, juniper, mandrake, and cannabis. Ayurveda, which encompasses a number of natural medicinal practices including yoga, has been practiced in and around the Indian subcontinent for millenia. 

Today, many drugs that are commonly used in modern medicine are derived from phytochemicals, chemical compounds found in plants. Indeed, the pharmaceutical industry of today can be traced back to English apothecaries of the 19th century where pharmacists sold and prescribed traditional plant-based medicines. Many indigenous communities, such as the Cherokee and Iriquois in the United States, still use traditional plants to mitigate or cure common ailments such as cold, cough, or fever.

Why You Should Learn Natural Medicine in NYC

Many people have a desire to study medicine, but don't want to make the commitment to years of study and high tuition that medical schools require. Studying natural medicine is a terrific way to follow your curiosity without breaking the bank, and with online classes, you can do it from anywhere.

Many local groups hold in-person discussions or foraging expeditions where you can learn how to identify beneficial flora and even take some home with you. 

Because natural medicine is a burgeoning field of study and practice in the United States, more people than ever are curious to learn more about natural medicine, its roots, and its potential benefits. You could be the very person to teach them! Who knows what professional opportunities studying this ancient but ever-evolving practice may lead to.
