I am a clinical herbalist who started studying herbal medicine in 1981. I attended the California School of Herbal Studies and later studied and taught botany at the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine. I am the director and primary teacher at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine, which I started in 1992. I am also a found and clinical herbalist at the Ithaca Free Clinic, which opened its doors in 2006. This is a free integrated health clinic.
Some areas of focus include herbal consultations, clinical skills, wildcrafting, medicine making, botany, first aid, and teaching.
I teach at conferences and schools throughout the US and occasionally in other countries.
One of my goals is to help make herbal medicine accessible and available to anyone interested. I also try to be a bridge between herbal and conventional medicine.
My favorite sort of outing is going somewhere new with a technical flora, keying out plants new to me, and taking photographs of plants and critters.
I am active on Facebook and Instagram.
My website has numerous free handouts, as well as blogs and other writings. RH (AHG)
