Plant Wisdom Course
Every plant is a natural-born chemist. Understand why plants create potent anti-inflammatory compounds to heal themselves and how they can be used for human health.
Explore the arsenal of chemicals plants produce to deter predators, and learn how we can harness these compounds in botanical products.
Plants make anti-inflammatory molecules to heal themselves. Interestingly, these molecules can also have beneficial effects on human health.
Moreover, plants produce chemicals to defend against predators like insects and animals. Humans can also harness these for medical purposes.
It's also fascinating to note that animals, including birds, insects, and mammals such as chimpanzees, monkeys, dogs, and bears, utilize plants as medicine.
By grasping these principles, we significantly enhance our comprehension and application of botanical medicine.
This course isn't just about learning; it's about transforming your perspective and approach to botanical medicine. Whether you're a hemp/CBD enthusiast, a natural product developer, or fascinated by the healing power of plants, this course is a gateway to a deeper understanding and practical application of botanical wisdom.

How Do Mammals Use Plants to Heal Themselves
A pregnant elephant in East Africa once traveled 28 miles to a specific tree, consumed its leaves and bark, and shortly after, gave birth. Kenyan women use this tree for childbirth.
In India and Mexico, wild boars consume roots to treat worm infestations. Dogs choose grasses like quack grass, known for aiding kidney function and microbial control.
What can the animal use of botanicals teach us about the human use of plants?
