The Herb Corner announces an herbal certification course, Reclaiming Your Roots, to be held beginning September 15 on alternate Sundays through December. The classes, led by Master Herbalist Cecelia Avitabile, will provide participants with an in-depth study of the healing properties of herbs. “Reclaiming Your Roots provides you with the health-promoting herbal skills that have nearly been lost to our ‘modern’ world,” says Avitabile.

During the course, attendees will learn how to treat non-emergency health problems, and gain an excellent grounding in the basics: teas, tinctures, salves, syrups and compresses. The course also includes healthy choices for women, men, children and pets including those that assist with digestive, nervous, circulatory, urinary, respiratory, immune, and other systems.

Pre-registration is required. Cost is $325 plus a materials fee of $50 for all printed instruction and materials. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required, with the balance made in 13 installments of $25. Graduates receive a certificate upon completion. The Herb Corner is located at 277 N. Babcock St in Melbourne. For more information, call 321-757-7522 or visit HerbCorner.net.
