Thank you so much!
There's no such thing as an "official" herbalist practitioner in the U.S. You could, conceivably (but not recommended), get a paper certificate from a weekend course and then hang up your sign for business. There are a lot of ways to learn, and you don't necessarily have to go to a school. But a serious herbalist will study for many, many years (all their lives, really), and include in their training clinical oversight and mentoring. Here are four schools as examples.
International Integrative Educational Institute
Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine
Northeast School of Botanical Medicine
The Herbal Academy
https://www.herbrally.com/ is a great place to find a bunch of herbal information, including schools and local events.
