Vermont Center
for Integrative
Herbalism
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing healthcare resources grounded in Nature. Our work brings clinical herbalism to community practice through the weaving of science, tradition and collective care. All of our offerings are rooted in deep connection with the plants and place and informed by our values of reciprocity, responsibility and mutual aid.
We envision a world
in which herbs return to a central role in the daily rhythms of home and community life. We believe that herbal medicine has the power not only to heal the individual, but to address the broad dysfunctions in our culture that have at their root a deep disconnection from Nature. Ultimately, we view herbalism as a necessary and powerful tool for collective liberation–a deep and broad medicine for humans and our more-than-human kin.
We invite you to visit our sliding-scale community clinic, staffed by professional herbalists and supervised clinical interns, learn more about self-care with herbs through our community classes, or pursue in-depth study in one of our comprehensive herbalist training programs.
“I am so very happy with the tincture I received from VCIH. The very first time I took it I felt relief. Having the inflammation in my stomach subside has been instrumental in my ability to focus on my studies. I feel excited every time I think that in addition to feeling better, I am doing no harm. I find myself wondering, believing even, that this relief gives my body the space it needs to do what it does best—find balance and heal.
“I also want to extend my gratitude to the two students who helped me. They were sensitive, knowledgeable, inquisitive and easy to open up to. I feel that they really heard what I had to say and took into account what I think I know about my body. They made short and long term self care recommendations which was very helpful. I am grateful for what you’ve created in VCIH. Your clinic is a blessing!”
