This course is designed for learners with a general interest in herbal medicine, natural products, or complementary health practices. While a basic understanding of common medicinal plants is helpful, no prior knowledge, laboratory experience, or pharmaceutical background is required. Participants should be able to follow written and verbal safety instructions, practice good personal hygiene, and handle plants and herbal materials safely. Learners should also be willing to use simple measuring equipment and basic preparation tools during practical activities. An understanding that herbal remedies complement—but do not replace—professional medical treatment for serious illnesses or emergencies is essential. Where practical exercises are included, access to basic herbal preparation materials, such as jars, measuring tools, and commonly available herbs, is recommended.
