Welcome !

The Self-care Institute at Golden Apple Healing Arts and Golden Apple Publications were founded in 1999 by Dr. Martha Mathews Libster.  Our mission is simple. 

We promote peace through precision Self-care with plants as partners!

Our staff and online resources, downloads, courses, webinars, and retreats help you, your family, communities, and organizations make important decisions related to the benefits and risks of any health service or product from biomedical treatment options for pain and illness to complementary therapies for health promotion. Our speciality is the judicious application of plants and botanical products in Self-care, clinical practice applications, and positioning herbal medicine within healthcare programs and systems. Dr. Martha and her SELF-CARE LEAGUE of medical science liaisons and instructors deliver the highest quality care solutions that sort out the science from the suspect and the traditional from the trivial.
