History and Philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine Curriculum
Naturopathic medicine has a rich history in Europe, specifically in Germany. Its roots are deep in the nature cure tradition, which used natural agents such as water, sunlight, fresh air, nutrition, rest, and exercise to promote optimal health and cure many conditions in patients. In Germany in the 1800s, many of the nature cure doctors had no formal medical training.

Anna Ioannou –
I really enjoyed this course. I wasn’t sure if Naturopathy and Holistic Medicine would be the right career for me in order to move forward so instead of jumping into the degree program I decided to start with a diploma course. After completing this first course, I was positive for this change and even more enthusiastic about helping others on their health journeys. The journey is not easy but it is definitely worth it.
