I really would have liked to learn from a herbalist - but I dont' find the online courses that useful (I pick up info super quick so find them superficial and frustratingly light on) and face to face here in Australia is often TOO formal and far too expensive for me to even contemplate. Also, I don't plan on teaching anyone or having a clinic so I'm definitely not paying that much! Also - a lot of alsos - this is usually info passed through generations and from self study - I'd like to be part of that flow of information - part of why HIVE can be cool - I've learnt a lot from the herbalists or foragers or medicinal herb users that have stuck around on HIVE. We've lost so much oral knowledge haven't we?

I agree!! totally! You are right, we have lost a lot of oral knowledge. Using herbs as a primary form of medicine was once the main source of medicine in most of the world. But, simultaneously, there is a boom of free - and quite helpful - information online. I want to be a part of that and you certainly are a part of that too.
