BO4147 Materia Medica 3 for Herbal Sciences
Materia Medica 3 is a continuation of the study of materia medica with an emphasis on a different set of botanical families through lecture, lab, and experimentation. The plant family structure acts as a mapping for learning nomenclature, energetics, folklore, chemical constituents, medicinal applications, pharmacy, toxicology, and safety factors of chosen botanicals. Key actions of the herbs are explored based on several world herbal models, and the science and art of formulating are developed.
