About
Daniel Gagnon
Daniel, owner of Herbs, Etc. has been a practicing herbalist since 1976.
Born in French Canada, he relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1979.
There he furthered his studies in medical herbalism, pharmacognosy and
related subjects at the Santa Fe College of Natural Medicine, the College
of Santa Fe and the College of Pharmacy at the University of New Mexico.
He obtained his bachelor of science in herbal medicine at the North American
College of Botanical Medicine.

His
passion for helping others was born out of his own childhood
health problems. His experience with conventional medical treatment
of eczema, asthma and allergies motivated him to seek gentler,
more soothing healing modalities, which ultimately put him on
the path to becoming an herbalist. His goal is to educate both
the public and the medical profession about the practical, healing
applications of herbal medicine.
Health
care professionals such as medical doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors
and acupuncturists frequently call upon Daniel as an herbal
consultant. He is the co-author of Breathe Free, a nutritional
and herbal care book for the respiratory system; and the author
of Healing Herbs for the Nervous System and Liquid
Herbal Drops in Everyday Use.
As
a teacher, Daniel shines due to his charisma and ability to
relate the information in a "story telling" and engaging
manner. He regularly teaches seminars and classes on herbal
therapeutics, both nationally and internationally. He was senior
professor of Materia Medica at the North American College of
Botanical Medicine.
