The course is based on a programme of 10 lessons with explanatory videos, information sheets, and activities such as quizzes or practical tasks. Each lesson focuses on a particular example of medicinal tree benefits ranging from pain control to help for digestive complaints and ways of dealing with stress, and much more.
