THE HERBAL ACADEMY INFORMATION ABOUT THE COURSE DIRECTOR

ABOUT ME

My name is Patrick Murphy. My main goal is simple: to empower people to improve their health by using simple herbal remedies at home.

Earlier in life, I obtained qualifications in herbal medicine, homoeopathy, advanced botany, herbal chemistry, pharmacognosy and herb horticulture.

I am so thrilled to share my insights and 25 years of experience of herbal medicine with you through my Herbal Diploma course.

Join me on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and of attaining herbal knowledge.

Kind regards,
Patrick.
