Certificate in Herbalism NZ

You're curious about herbal remedies, but don't know what's safe or where to start.

🤔

You see herbs online but are not sure which ones grow well in New Zealand, or how to identify them safely in the wild.

📜

The rules around making and selling herbal products seem complex. You don't want to accidentally break the law.

🌱

You want to learn about native plants like Kawakawa and Mānuka, but want to do it respectfully and ethically.

A different approach

Learn it your way, at your own pace

Every lesson comes in five formats. You can read the text, listen to the audio, watch a video, or follow the slides. Our AI tutor is always there to answer your questions as you go.

Your AI tutor, on every lesson

You
I want to make a Kawakawa balm to sell at a local market in Hamilton. What are the most important rules I need to follow so I don't get in trouble?
AI Tutor
That's a great goal. The two main things to focus on are labelling and therapeutic claims. You must follow the Natural Health and Supplementary Products Act guidelines for what you put on the label. It's also very important not to claim your balm can 'cure' or 'treat' any disease. Would you like to go over the specific rules for therapeutic claims now?
