David is a very knowledgeable herbalist and I learned a lot from his courseKarin S.United States of America
I highly recommend this course to anyone studying or practicing TCM that has children or is interested in treating children. There are a lot of different products on the market all with very little information. This course prepares you to use the products both safely and effectively in a clinical and home use setting. john m.United States of America
