Dominion Herbal College, a Registered Post-Secondary School in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, was founded by Dr. Herbert Nowell, a Naturopathic Physician in Vancouver, B.C. in 1926. Dr. Nowell spent many hours researching and compiling the material recorded in Books One and Two of the College's Chartered Herbalist Course. Prior to 1918, he taught botanical medicine to medical doctors, when such medicine was accepted and practised by many in the profession. Dr. Nowell's knowledge in Herbal Medicine was admired and appreciated by doctors in England, Canada and the United States.
Ella Birzneck, M.H., continued the tradition and spirit of Dr. Nowell's love of herbs and natural healing by resurrecting and reorganising the College; thus, making the diploma course available for study to anyone with a sincere desire to gain knowledge of Herbalism. Book Three contains many of Ella's favourite remedies accumulated as a result of a lifetime of experience in Herbalism and other holistic health methods.
Since 1962, members of Ella Birzneck's family have worked to ensure that the original purpose of the College which was and still is to preserve and nurture the study of Herbalism remains intact. By offering a reliable researched source of information to keep the spirit of herbalism and natural healing alive, Dominion Herbal College will continue to light the way in the true North American Herbal Tradition and to encourage interschool co-operation and unity with Herbal groups locally, nationally and internationally
