Herbal Studies Degrees
Chinese Herbal Medicine Jobs and Degrees
The study of Chinese herbs is often just one part of a program leading to a degree in Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal medicine certifications, degrees, or programs may be geared toward those interested simply in treating themselves or those looking for vocational training. Herbal studies can be done from a Western or Chinese perspective and some programs will also integrate the two. The advantage of an integrated approach to Western and Chinese herbal medicines is the capacity to connect those studies with other related holistic health areas.
Completion of an herbal studies program will prepare you to diagnose and treat illness or disease. Whether part of a Chinese herbal medicine degree or from a Western perspective, the training with Chinese herbs will open employment possibilities in a variety of North American settings. You might find employment in a Chinese herbal medicine clinic or start your own business.
Coursework in Herbal Studies Programs
Courses in herbal studies educate students in the properties of Chinese herbs as well as those found naturally in North America. Chinese herbal medicine then connects the healing properties of the herbs with the illness or disease requiring treatment in the client. Coursework includes identification and proper preparation of herbal remedies, knowledge of nutrition and human biology, aromatherapy and other treatments which make use of herbs native to North America as well as Chinese herbs.
