"Stay healthy with the herbal medicine chest
that’s already in your kitchen."
You’ve read the phrase, “Let your food be your medicine” a thousand times.
There are so many dietary choices, which is the best?
What if there was a way you could intentionally use your food as medicine, no matter what your food choices were?
Imagine being able to walk into your kitchen and see it as your home medicine chest.
• Carrots for heartburn?
• Cabbage for ulcers?
• Onions for respiratory issues?
• Celery juice for hay fever?
Ready for an herbal paradigm shift?
Culinary Herbalism with K.P. Khalsa is a ten module, video based webinar course.
Each module takes you deeper into the world of using your food as medicine and your medicine as food.
In Culinary Herbalism, K.P. Khalsa blends ancient wisdom with modern science, and serves it up as a delicious meal of inspiring and simple to follow lessons.
K.P.’s unique expertise in western, Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalism and cooking makes this course like no other ever offered.
Beginners and experienced herbalists alike are welcome. If you cook food, then this is for you. K.P. speaks to all herbal learners in these information packed seminars.
This is a safe course, and is not about using wild plants that you pick. This course strictly focuses on foods, veggies, fruits, herbs, and spices that you would find in most markets. Though some wild foods are mentioned, you would only use those if you have experience.

IMPORTANT…
Culinary Herbalism works for most dietary choices.
It does NOT preach any form of eating. All dietary choices are honored. Being most diets allow plant based foods, most diets are welcome.* There may be a few recipes using dairy or wheat (for those with gluten or lactose issues), but most of the course does not include them.
Culinary Herbalism also is NOT a course in Ayurvedic medicine. It covers ideas, concepts and recipes from what K.P. calls “The Big Three,” which are Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbalism.
There are no diagnostic skills covered in this course.
*If your diet does not allow plant based food, do not take this course.
