The School of Christian Herbalism

Recover the Lost Christian Tradition of Healing
Be your own Medic. Farmacist. Farmer.

For centuries, Christians saw caring for the sick as a sacred mission.

  • Monasteries cultivated medicinal gardens.
  • Physicians treated the poor as an act of charity.
  • Knowledge of healing plants was passed down as part of everyday life.

Healing was never merely a technical skill. It was an expression of mercy.

Yet this tradition is largely forgotten.

The School of Christian Herbalism exists to help recover the Christian heritage of herbal medicine by uniting faith, tradition, and the practical knowledge of the healing plants God has placed in creation.

Achieve your dream of becoming an herbalist without compromising your deeply held Christian beliefs.

The Three Pillars of Christian Herbalism

Christian herbalism rests on three foundations:

Creation
We study medicinal plants growing in fields and forests, learning the healing gifts of God’s creation.

Tradition
We draw from the long history of Christian healing—monastic medicine, charitable physicians, and the wisdom preserved within the Church.

Compassion
Healing knowledge exists for the sake of service. Christian herbalism seeks to care for the sick with humility, mercy, and love of neighbor.

Why this Work Matters

Today, many Christians feel caught between two extremes.
Modern medicine often treats the body as a machine, disconnected from the wisdom of creation.

At the same time, the modern herbal movement frequently mixes plant medicine with spiritual ideas drawn from pagan or New Age traditions.

Neither reflects the historic Christian understanding of healing.

Christian herbalism offers another path, one that honors both the gifts of creation and the faith of the Church.
