Are you feeling stressed or tense as a result of biochemical imbalances or life’s challenges (or both)?
Maybe you’re experiencing a low level of anxiety throughout the day, making it difficult to sleep at night…
Sipping lavender tea and inhaling diffused lavender oil can be a calming dual-remedy — and this is only one of the many herb-oil combinations for treating nervous system imbalances.
You can also pack a lot of healing power into specific herb-oil combinations to address common (as well as chronic) health conditions…
There are also plenty of pairings of essential oils and herbs that can help you detoxify.
These remedies are readily accessible, easy to combine, and are beneficial additions to your home pharmacy.
Yet, you may be wondering…
Should you apply a particular remedy to the skin, drink a tea, use an essential oil in a diffuser, take a tincture of an herb, or use steam inhalation of an oil?
What are the correct dosages of the herbs, the proper dilutions of the oils, how long should we use them, and are there contraindications or potential herb/drug interactions?
To guide you, we’ve invited plant medicine pioneer David Crow to share a concise, yet comprehensive “Home Formulary” — his first-ever training on integrating medicinal plants and aromatherapy.
In this in-depth 8-part training, David will address these questions in clear language — and share the science, protocols, and do’s and don’ts of integrating herbs and essential oils to:
The key to increasing the therapeutic power of both herbs and oils is learning which to pair — and how to apply them safely and effectively.
Because the pharmacy of essential oils is so large, and the number of medicinal plants even larger, there’s an infinite number of possible combinations. David Crow has distilled a vast amount of information into easy-to-use applications, using commonly available herbs and oils that are backed by either centuries of empirical evidence showing their benefits, modern research, or both.
David will show you when and why to mix them together... and how.
Should you apply them to the skin, drink a tea, use an essential oil in a diffuser, take a tincture of an herb, and use steam inhalation of an oil?
And what are the correct dosages of the herbs, the proper dilutions of the oils, how long should we use them, and are there contraindications or potential herb/drug interactions?
In this in-depth, 8-part training, David will address these questions in clear language — and share the science, protocols, and do’s and don’ts of integrating herbs and essential oils.
You’ll benefit by David’s extensive research on the healing properties of plants in their environments, and his knowledge of ancient healing lineages — from the shamanic traditions of the Amazon to the alchemical mysteries of the Himalayas to the wisdom of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.
Most naturopathic doctors and herbalists are not trained in the use of essential oils. Meanwhile, aromatherapists typically lack an understanding of herbal medicine. World-renowned plant medicine expert David Crow is now bridging these two fields in this innovative new program, which is founded on more than 30 years of study and clinical expertise.
Whether you’re a plant medicine novice or a seasoned practitioner, an individual or a professional, Combining Herbs & Essential Oils will deepen your understanding and application of nature’s pharmacy.
In this innovative 8-part series, you’ll discover the fundamental skills and competencies needed to safely and effectively combine herbs and essential oils to enhance healing.
You’ll complete this training with a holistic understanding of protocols, practices, and underlying principles of both herbal medicine and aromatherapy — and learn how to apply them in tandem to increase their therapeutic benefits.
Get David Crow’s compelling overview of principles of applying both aromatherapy and herbal medicine to heal and balance you. In this 76-minute audio, he’ll also walk you through each module ahead — and share combinations of herbs and oils he’ll be covering in depth throughout the training.

— Diana Mongeau, British Columbia, Canada
This course has heightened my awareness of plant life of all kinds as beings and presence. My relationship and awareness, even with my own garden, has changed significantly in a way that is intensely spiritual and (though the words aren’t quite right) awe-inspiring. This has been one of the most profound and consciousness-expanding courses I have ever taken. Thank you, David Crow.
— Beverly Kune, Santa Fe, New Mexico
Many years ago I had a very lucid dream in which a "higher being" clothed in a hooded robe was imparting the "secrets of the universe" to me. I knew what I was being told was of supreme importance, and when I awoke the only part I remembered was being told that nature "leans into us (humanity), which allows for our being." I understood this on an intuitive level, but not until hearing David lecture did I understand what this means biologically, psychologically, and spiritually. I am very, very pleased with the content and depth of this course and consider the imparted information priceless.
— Bonnie Davis, Dallas, Texas
