What Is PENothecary™?

Think of PENothecary™ as your online learning room.

It is where members and enrolled students can access educational materials, participate in learning opportunities, explore new subjects, and continue growing in their knowledge of herbalism, natural wellness, biblical health principles, and practical home-based skills.

You do not have to be pursuing a professional credential to belong.

Some members join simply because they love learning.

Others use PENothecary™ as part of their continuing education.

Students enrolled in NHMEC courses and Diploma Programs may also use PENothecary™ to access program materials and student resources.
