International Students – Herbal Medicine Specialist Diploma Course

About the Course

What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine has a long tradition in all cultures, and recent research has begun to prove some of the huge benefits of using herbs. Whereas much modern medicine has unwelcome side effects, herbs can provide a gentle, yet powerful, solution to a wide range of physical and emotional problems.

As well as relieving symptoms, herbal medicine also works on a deeper level to help patients return to full harmony. Herbal medicine is becoming ever more popular in the UK, as ever more people seek out qualified herbalists.

Why Study Herbal Medicine with The CNM?

The College of Naturopathic Medicine Herbal Medicine Diploma is designed to provide a high quality training that will equip graduates to build highly successful practices. It is carefully structured so that each Unit builds on the previous ones, allowing students to develop their confidence and skills, and reach their full potential as professional medical herbalists. We also strongly encourage each student to develop his or her unique style of working.

One of the strengths of The College of Naturopathic Medicine course is that we draw on a variety of herbal traditions: we have expert lecturers in western, Ayurvedic (Indian) and Chinese herbal medicine.

Students will also study the energetic models of these systems, allowing them to make a multi – faceted, holistic diagnosis. Graduates will be able to draw on a wide variety of herbs from different traditions, helping them to provide the best possible treatment for their patients.
