About Our Program

Thank you for visiting David Winston’s Center For Herbal Studies’ (DW-CHS) website. David Winston, RH (AHG), an internationally respected herbalist, is the dean and one of the primary instructors for this program. He teaches throughout the US, Canada, and the UK and has been teaching the two year DW-CHS program for over 46 years.

Our philosophy: Great herbalists treat people, not diseases, and in our program we strive to teach the skills necessary so that each student can accomplish that goal. We focus on differential diagnosis skills, materia medica and therapeutics which are essential to individualize treatment and help patients to not only resolve symptoms, but create constitutional change needed for physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.

The program runs from September through August for two consecutive years. The class will be held online via live webcast and we will be arranging live herb walks for people who are local, which will also be filmed and put up online for students who cannot attend.

For more information about the course please refer to the Herbalist’s Training Program tab. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.

I am nearing the completion of the Herbal Program at the David Winston Center for Herbal Studies and am thrilled with my experience. The comprehensive curriculum covers a wide range of topics, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The instructors are exceptional, bringing a wealth of knowledge and passion for the subject. The quality of teaching is outstanding, with engaging and informative lessons.

I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in herbal studies. It has been a transformative experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from such esteemed experts.
