We started our journey as one of the first aromatherapy schools in the U.S. back in 1990.

The power of Host Defense comes from the discovery that the mycelium is the immune system of the mushroom. Just as mycelium helps to support the immune system of humans, it also supports the health and immunity of the natural habitats where it grows. Mushroom mycelium is a cellular bridge connecting bees, trees, bears, plants and humans to the ecosystems in which they live. Our work is to build a healthier world with the power of mushrooms. Our mission is to explore, study, preserve and spread knowledge about the use of fungi for helping people and planet. |

We now have safe harbor bills in eleven states: Minnesota, Rhode Island, California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Idaho, Arizona (partial, only for homeopaths), Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and our most recent addition, Maine. NHFA works with our sister educational organization NHFC (National Health Freedom Coalition) to ensure each person’s right to access the healing practitioners, products, and information they need on their healing journey. |
