Our theme this year is "The Practice of Herbal Medicine for Survival in the 21st Century." Survival in this context is the continuing support from each individual to take part in preserving our herbs and their uses traditionally as medicine and as food in everyday life. For this year?s seminar we are very pleased once again to welcome everyone, new or old, the teachers, students, staff and the public to be part of this valuable sharing of information in the field of herbal medicine. Some of our guest speakers are from the United States, Canada, Mexico and New Zealand to share with us their experience in the uses of herbs.
