Programs in Natural Health – Certificate, Diploma and Degree Courses

Were you aware that educational programs in natural health can lead to a certificate, diploma or degree? In a naturopathic course, for starters, aspiring candidates can achieve a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine Degree by successfully completing up to six* years of in-depth studies. (*Check individual programs in natural health for exact curricula and time-table.) In this particular field of study, students gain comprehensive training and education the history, application and philosophies of naturopathy; including common subject matter like anatomy, pathology and microbiology; homeopathy, colonics, herbal/botanical medicine, natural pharmacology, bodywork and somatic education, Chinese medicine, and integrative medicine, among other relative studies.

Other degree programs in natural health, like the Master’s in Herbology can be earned in just a few years’ time. Typical curriculum in this natural healthcare discipline includes but is not limited to fundamental theories and diagnostics of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and of course, herbal medicine. Relative studies in these programs in natural health are comprised of over 300 herbs, Chinese Materia Medica, herbal prescription and pharmacology, and clinical/laboratory applications.

Certificate and diploma programs in natural health are vastly diverse; and may include career-training courses in massage therapy, reflexology, herbal remedies, aromatherapy, iridology, and holistic health.

Some of the more popular and growing programs in natural health that offer certification and/or diplomas of completion are studies in massotherapy. Today, prospective healing arts practitioners can earn a diploma from any one of a number of natural healing or massage therapy schools in less than one or two years. Dependent upon the level of education and practical training you choose to pursue in bodywork, you will find that typical massage programs in natural health range between 300 and 500 hours; however, to achieve National certification level, students must complete a minimum of 500 training hours. In these natural healing courses, candidates are introduced to anatomy, physiology, pathology and kinesiology. Additional hands-on training in somatics often includes Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and sports massage; but with growing competition in the field, many natural health programs have begun integrating advanced training in holistic healthcare, aromatherapy, reiki, hydrotherapy, and a number of other bodywork modalities.

An iridology course, as one of many programs in natural health, often combines education and training in the study of the iris; with herbal medicine and holistic nutrition. In many cases, this course of study can be completed through home studies, in addition to convenient seminars and workshops. Upon successful completion, individuals are awarded a certificate; and have the option to apply these professional credentials to an already-established holistic health/wellness clinic, or as a stand-alone practice.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in finding healing arts courses, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore programs in natural health near you.

Holistic Horizons Skin Brush


Holistic Horizons Skin Brush


$10.69


For Dry Skin Brushing Description : Skin Brush is used for dry skin brushing to stimulate cleansing of the lymphatic system. It is a long handled bath-type brush with natural vegetable bristles. This brush must not be used for bathing since it needs to be kept dry. Like the colon, the lymphatic system can contain stagnant waste matter. To feel the full benefit of the Robert Gray Intestinal Cleansing Program, it is important to use skin brushing to stimulate and cleanse the lymphatic system. Once the colon is at least partially cleansed, it takes a few months of daily skin brushing to completely cleanse the system. You should begin skin brushing at the same time you begin the program. Use a long-handled brush with natural vegetables bristles. Keep this brush dry and do not use it for bathing. When you perform skin brushing, your body should be dry, and should move the brush once over every body surface except your face, using a clean sweeping motion. Do not use any back and forth motion, circular motion, scrubbing, nor massaging. One clean sweep is all you need. Start brushing at your neck, and then move down your trunk, brushing generally the direction of the lower abdomen. Also brush across the top of your shoulders and upper back, and brush up your arms, legs, and buttocks. Done properly, this technique takes no more than four or five minutes to perform and is very stimulating and invigorating. You should practice skin brushing daily for a period of three months, no mater how long you take the intestinal cleansing products. Therefore, you should only perform skin brushing twice weekly, allowing three to four days between each brushing. It is best to always perform skin brushing on the same two days of every week.
