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.

David Winston’s Herbal Training is a truly life changing experience!!  I am forever grateful that I was welcomed in to David’s school!  The learning, and support, as well as all the teacher’s, and of course the curriculum is beyond tops!!!  My life was forever changed much for the better because I was given the chance and privilege to learn herbalism from David, and his school’s teaching team!!!  I went on to do the Therapeutic’s training with David and his school, and loved it too!  I am really hoping and planning to to attend the Grad Program, too!!  I can not recommend David’s school more highly!!!!  If you are on the fence, and can’t decide, all I can say is that a truly life enhancing, and life changing learning experience awaits you to become a GREAT Herbalist!!  David, his teacher’s, his staff, and his school will be there for you every step of the way!!!!
