"Panic mode activated. So last workshop about herbal first aid I asked about what to do for bumps on the head.
Yesterday my 2 year old hit himself real hard on the edge of the door and it swelled up immediately real big with a gash. But thankfully it didn't break the skin, you just see the red indentation of the door.
I immediately panicked and started icing it and after rattling my brain about what was said in class, I pulled these out and slathered it with the salve and oil.
Today, there's no bump, and hardly any bruising. The timing couldn't be better for this class."

How I Went From
Backpacking Guide to REI Shelves
You're not getting random internet remedies here.
You're getting the herbs and recipes I've used for over 25 years.
Recipes that WORK.
These formulas are based off the
herbal first aid kits once sold in REI stores across the country.
That's what you're going to build
your natural first aid kit with.

I’m a 20 year ICU Nurse & I’ve learned more from Mel than I have in years!"

If there's one thing we can all count on in life, it's that
Accidents Happen
You've probably been there, the moment your toddler gets their first bee sting. Tears spraying out from their eyes, and it's absolute meltdown panic mode.
And, all you want to do is soothe them and make them feel better, quickly.
Or, maybe it's when your friend takes a fall out on that hike, and sprains her ankle. Puffy, swollen, and she can barely walk.
Sound familiar?
These are the moments we're all going to face at one point or another.
And having to run to the drug store to get what you need, or worse yet, running to urgent care is probably not in your list of "things I want to do."
Mostly because both of those suck.
I get it, I really do.
So, just think about what it will feel like when you don't have to panic.
When you can soothe those weeping eyes,
or give some quick healing relief to that swollen ankle.
All with the plants you not only have on hand,
but actually know what to do with.
You keep your cool.
You're calm, and you know just the herbs to turn to.
If that sounds good to you, it's time to develop some first aid skills...
"My sister's husband sprained his ankle about 2 months ago,
and they had recommended surgery.
He's been doing the poultices I made for him and is getting better."

With Herbal First Aid Skills You'll...
Know Exactly What Herbs to Use
Imagine not having to freak out any time an accident happens. Instead, you're calm, confident, and you know exactly which herbs to turn to, right when you need them. That's what I'm going to teach you inside this course. Not only will you know the herbs, you'll know why you're using them, and exactly how to use them.
Build A Kit That Works
The recipes I've shared inside this course are based off of the same recipes I sold to REI, and other natural health food stores across the United States. That means you're getting herbal first aid recipes that actually work. Not some random Pinterest recipe that may or may not work if you do it right. These are the same recipes I use for my family, and the ones that have kept us out of the ER numerous times.
BE READY BEFORE YOU NEED IT
"I just slapped some mashed up fresh plantain on my blister. It's cool that I'm getting to the point where I know enough about some of the herbal actions to try stuff myself, instead of always asking about every little thing."

"Hi Mel! Just wanted to say I love the classes, lots of great information!
Taking my time soaking it all up!"
Lupita R.
Hi, I'm Mel!
I'm a nature loving clinical herbalist and momma with a background in Environmental & Experiential Education.
I spent years as a wilderness therapist and backpacking guide. It always chapped my hide when I saw people dumping toxic first aid products on their body, and worse yet, our precious earth.
That's when I discovered the power of using plants to help us in emergency situations.
I dreamed of having a non-toxic herbal first aid kit in every adventure seeker's backpack, and camping gear.
After an 18-year manifestation (and lots of herb studies) I made that happen when I got my herbal first aid kit into REI, and other natural health food stores across the country.
These are the skills, the recipes, and the knowledge that you're going to learn inside of the Herbal First Aid Skills course, and I can't wait for you to dive in!
Because this is how we can Make Herbalism Spread Like Wildflowers, together!
See what my students are saying:
"I am taking two classes and the other one is a little... boring. I am not connecting to it. Thanks to you I am discovering what I am really passionate about."
— Amanda S. (Naturally Healed)
"I am currently enrolled in both Mel's program and Herbal Academy. I find Mel's program superior in both breadth and depth of information."
—Lissa B. (Community Herbalist)
"We've all followed herbalists online that seem to spend their days wandering the woods and shaking their tincture jars but Mel seems to have a way of teaching that is down to earth and is backed by real knowledge."
—Quiara P. (Medicine Makin' Mommas)
"Hi l'm Margie. I've been studying herbs for a long time. I've competed my beginner and intermediate classes at the Herbal academy and I have my diploma in herbal astrology. I still feel I have so much more to learn. Mel is so upbeat and everything she teaches is not over your head. I'm excited to be here"
—Margie M. (Community Herbalist)
"Mel's enthusiasm for plants is infectious. Her classes feel more like a fun gathering than a learning activity, keeping everyone engaged and not feeling like you are being overwhelmed with information, but absorbing it all at the same time. Phrases such as 'Calendula is my friendula' are forever etched in my brain.
Her classes have definitely had a positive impact on the health of myself and my family."
— Cari G. (Naturally Healed)
"As a former teacher, then instructor in the air force, it is Mel's method of teaching that I love. Having taken many herbal courses ( wood, Tierra, McDonald, Popham, Groves, Rawls, McBride, Hoffman, Coffman, Falconi, Ganora), I find the way Mel takes complex to an easier to understand or at least to not feel overwhelmed."
—NanciAnne L. (Community Herbalist)
"Your classes don't just teach content. They teach us to have the confidence to actually USE that knowledge in the real world. There's no greater gift than faith in one's own abilities."
—Lissa B. (Community Herbalist)
"I haven't even been in your program for a full year and I have learned so much. Last year at this time I was looking on Google and throwing vodka on herbs."
—Sarah S. (Medicine Makin' Momma)
"You create such a safe space to learn where I can test out my theories, my knowledge, my wisdom - and get coached to be better."
—Monica P. (Community Herbalist)
"The reason my kid knows about what herbs she should ask for is essentially because of what you do. You are accomplishing your mission."
—Sarah S. (Naturally Healed)

I am currently enrolled in both Mel's program and in Herbal Academy.
I do find Mel's program superior in both breadth and depth of information."
