​
The four seminars (one for each season) are relaxed but focussed sessions run by JulieAnn Nugent-Head of ATS in the open kitchen of Miller’s Way clinic.
​
They have been designed to reframe your whole understanding of herbal medicine and are ideal for either the experienced herbalist wishing to increase the scope of their work, or as a solid introduction for those planning to enrich their acupuncture skills with herbal study.
​
This wonderful initiation into the flavour and nature of herbs will introduce you to a
way of working with herbal medicine that has the potential to greatly improve your clinical results.

What will you gain from this series?
Traditional herbalists, like great chefs, were expected to be regularly tasting their herbs to gain sensory understanding of how the flavour and nature combined to create tangible effect. This carefully curated library of sensations of the herb’s thickness, depth, and qualities of movement and temperature allowed the skilled practitioner to be able to intuitively adapt their formula precisely to different patients, seasons and conditions.
The Association for Traditional Studies (ATS) Herb Immersion Course takes your knowledge of herbs and formulae out of the books and wires it into your senses. Each of the four weekends through the year focusses on the pathologies prevalent in that season (wind, heat, damp and cold) and equips you with variable strategies for rectifying the micro-climate of your patients whatever their symptoms.
