BS 536T - Fundamentals of Botanical Medicine Tutorial

Credit(s): 1.5

This small group class complements the lecture course with experiential learning
activities in botanical medicine. Each student will have the opportunity to develop and
understanding of the medicinal qualities of herbs through experiencing the flavor and
aroma of various preparations. Students will also make various forms of herbal medicines
in class in order to understand, first hand, how herbs are prepared, dosed, and
dispensed. Knowledge of phytochemistry is also applied through preparing and
evaluating botanical remedies using traditional and modern techniques.
