This course is for those who really wish to carry out the recommendations of the full Interactive course but do not have the time for in depth study and coursework. The essential points brought out by the longer course are all present.

Why not follow the course with a friend. This will help to keep you motivated and add to your enjoyment of the subject.

Each separate module is dedicated to a particular body system.

Answers to frequently asked questions give the minimum anatomy and physiology needed for a basic understanding of the reasons for the recommended diet, exercises, herbs etc.

These also cover some aspects of diseases associated with the ageing of that body system.

As in the full course there will be 10 easy ways to support that body system in everyday life.

There are fun activities designed to explore the senses and abilities of your body. Those encouraging your links with the plant world are included as an optional diversion.

Two main supportive herbs, often used in cookery which can be included frequently in home life, are given with each module.

This course is not however interactive. The books by Christina Stapley, Herbwise Naturally, Herbcraft Naturally and Herb Sufficient, all published by Heartsease Books are recommended to accompany the course. These offer more recipes.

Essentials modules are available singly at £25 each or £190 for the whole course of 9. Saving £35. It is possible to be upgraded from the Essentials Course to the Interactive Course at any stage if wished.

It should be understood that the course gives general information and at no point should be looked upon as individual prescribing. Christina cannot be responsible for use of recipes, or possible allergic reactions. Self diagnosis is not advised.
