"I'm so GLAD I jumped in to learn herbalism!"

"One of the biggest victories aside from the breathing problems is that we no longer buy 1-2 boxes of Sudafed EVERY MONTH!  We don't use ibuprofen every day like we used to, either! I don't remember the last time we used it!  This is all MAJOR. I use only herbal expectorants now!  My last bottle of Robitussin is on the shelf, expired!  And for pain relief: This has been a stubborn condition and to get through it without drugs is amazing!  I am SO encouraged! 

I also have to say that we have just not been sick since we started using herbs regularly!  I can't thank you enough for giving me the practical instruction and encouragement that I needed to jump in to all of this after hesitating for so, so long!"

"Ditch the Drugstore stopped the paralysis by analysis!"

"Ditch The Drug Store is a wonderful course for someone who is ready to get their home apothecary going. The workbook helps you create a personalized plan for your family's apothecary. With Heidi's guidance and knowledge you will be amazed at how many over the counter medicines you can replace with a much safer herbal or essential oil alternative. I would recommend this course to everyone. My greatest take away is that the course stopped the paralysis by analysis and I actually made many things."

 –Ann Gaquinto-Scott, Student

"This knowledge is priceless!"

"A lot has been happening, in regards to putting to use what I have been learning in Ditch the Drugstore. With Covid going around I started some tinctures. I was exposed to Covid last Thursday and started feeling crummy 2 days later. I started using some of the herbal remedies I made that you suggested, and that evening I was feeling pretty good...the tinctures kicked it out of my system immediately. So WOW IMPRESSIVE! Heidi, I am so grateful to have already applied what I have been learning to help my family. This knowledge is priceless...

"Herbs gave us more control over our health care."

"I gag on store-bought cough & cold medicines. I am SO glad to have alternatives!.....What I love most is that herbs give us more control over our own health care, and they connect us to the earth. I feel like I am touching more areas of ME than I ever have and am incorporating my love of science and the natural world more than I ever have in my adult life...."

"I can't think of any OTC medication I would walk into a drugstore for that wasn't covered."

"I highly recommend this course. I have taken a similar course before and even had already made some of the recipes, yet the experience of going through this course live was invaluable. This course helps you to organize and prioritize your family's specific needs while you assemble a cabinet full of the most practical herbal preparations that you will want to have on hand and gives you the confidence to use them appropriately when needed. I learned so much having direct access to Heidi in the live classes as well as the other people in the student group. Also: I can't think of any OTC medication I would walk into a drugstore for that wasn't covered in this course.

"Herbs are helping my husband and I get healthy."

"I found a new world of natural medicine thanks to Heidi... I have been able to replace my inhaler (which I took twice daily) for a simple, safe tincture.That being said I have NOT had to take my inhaler for a year now! This has not only helped me NOT put harmful steroids in my body, it has also saved me $135 a month. There are herbs I now know how to use that have helped me go from 2% away from stage 5 kidney failure (which requires dialysis). I am now stable in stage four and there is no talk of dialysis! There are other changes I have made too. Needless to say, herbs have changed my life and are helping my husband and I get healthy. This journey is a blessing. Thank you so much Heidi!"

"I have such a better quality of life now."

"After taking the DTDS course my confidence in my new Herbal journey exploded!! I have tinctures, salves, oils, teas and many other medicinal preparations ready to go when needed. I have been so happy to be able to just go to my own "Drug Store"  and have natural healing medicine that is not full of chemicals....I have been able to share some of my herbal preparations with others and have had wonderful feedback from those I've had the pleasure to share with. I have such a better quality of life now and only see new ways to improve my self physically, mentally and spiritually in the future as a result of an amazing teacher and the great community here.  Thank you Heidi you are truly a blessing to anyone's life that you touch!!

"Be ready for life-changing results!"

"Everything about the course was fantastic… The course changed my life in many ways. I haven’t taken any allergy meds in 6 weeks, and I was a 2 a day Zyrtec-D person for the last 5 years. I also had a follow up with my doctor about my BP and he said with the progress that I have made I do not need to go on any meds. Mullein and marshmallow root and hawthorn berry and flowers are my daily tinctures. Keep an open mind and be willing and ready for life changing results. Don’t be over whelmed any questions or concerns are always answered and point you in the correct direction to find the answers you need."

--Matt Wiedyk, Student

"There is so much peace of mind knowing I have the tools to keep my family healthy naturally."

“My greatest takeaway from Ditch the Drugstore is the feeling of being in control. I love knowing I have to tools at my fingertips (hoping some to be from memory) to take care of most of my family's heath and wellness needs. Heidi genuinely wants her students to learn as much as possible and has been there for us via zoom meetings a couple times a week as well as in the online student group all week long. This course is jam-packed with detailed information and herbal recipes for our home apothecary. There is so much peace of mind in knowing I have the tools to help keep my family heathy naturally. Thank you, Heidi!"

"It's a solid confidence builder..."

Even though I've been in the Confident Herbalist Tribe now for two years, I don't regret taking DTDS. It has enhanced & honed my herbal journey. The recipe book is fantastic & I love that it also covers essential oils as well as herbs. DTDS is so much more than a course, it's hard to explain & translate into words. It's a very personal experience & journey that you go on, when you start learning how to tailor your own home apothecary. It's a solid confidence builder. Our medicine box of over the counter products has been completely transformed 🦋

"My family uses them too, and my neighbors love the salves."

"Heidi, Not only do I use the things I have made but my family has started using them too.  I put together a small apothecary for 2 granddaughters going to college.  My son is a respiratory therapist so now takes fire cider every day as he is exposed to covid all the time. My neighbors have loved the salves and things I have given them to try. Thank you so much for the DTD course and all the other courses you have made available in the " Confident Herbalist Tribe Group too.

 –Norma Steiner, Student

It's JAM-Packed!

“What a great resource for those beginning their herbal journey! And it is jam packed with a ton of valuable information. Heidi has done a fantastic job of making this course easy to follow in a language that isn’t overly complicated. She makes it feel very personable and as though I am learning from a close friend. I highly recommend this excellent course for anyone who wants to learn how to use herbs safely and effectively in their everyday life!”
