Herbal education based in physiology, grounded in experience
Online herb courses and community with Caty Crabb
Welcome, I’m Caty Crabb
I’m Caty Crabb, a clinical herbalist in practice for the past twenty years. My current focus is on teaching herbal medicine through the lens of human physiology.
As a practitioner, I’ve helped my clients resolve health concerns ranging from complex, chronic conditions to acute illness.
I do not believe that the path to health is through restrictive diets and harsh regimens. My philosophy of practice leads me to look at the whole person, using herbs to address deficiencies, getting at the root cause of the concern. The goal is to meet my clients where they are and work with the realities of our lives to improve our well being.
If you’re interested in these things I hope you’ll reach out!
Lets get to the root of health problems
Most of us have found that while conventional medicine has its strengths, it also has its limitations. Too often we find ourselves frustrated by doctors failing to improve our health. There are many health conditions that conventional medicine, and even many herbalists, seem to have no answer for.
In my twenty years of clinical practice I have seen irrefutable evidence that herbs, applied skillfully, can resolve both simple and complex health concerns. Real world knowledge of how herbs affect the body and an understanding how your organ systems work is the key.
I created these courses for those who want to gain the skills and confidence to work with herbs for effective health care. My classes are designed to be immediately accessible to beginners, and detailed enough for advanced students and practitioners.
I offer practical, experience based information that can be put to use right away. If you want to learn to use herbs to address your own health, that of your family or community, or enhance your clinical practice these courses are for you!
Aralia School of Herbal Medicine
The Aralia School of Herbal Medicine exists to share experience based, practical knowledge with both aspiring herbalists and established practitioners. I want to give people tools to realize agency over their health, and deepen understanding of the body and how herbs work within it. My offerings aim to be detailed and physiology based. Through knowledge of herbs and the body, we can achieve better health for ourselves and our communities.
In my opinion, there is no substitute for learning from someone like Caty who can tell me how she’s actually used a particular herb over many years, and what the results have been. Her experience and willingness to share is invaluable and a treasure to the community.

The detailed focus on each organ system and the supportive learning structure really made it useful. This was perfect timing for me before taking further classes.
