Why study naturopathy?
Naturopathy, as a field of study in this course, is underpinned by the belief that all living forms possess an innate ability for self-healing. This ability, or vital force, operates in an intelligent, orderly fashion.
All natural approaches to health care are aimed at supporting and enhancing the body’s own ability to heal itself.
The term ‘innate’ refers to characteristics or qualities, which are present in an individual from birth- they are part of the essential nature of something, rather than something that is learned, or gained through experience.
Innate Healing therefore, refers to the natural inclination of the body to both resist disease, and heal oneself.
In Iconic Health Academy’s Naturopathy courses, this traditional method is based on the skillful integration and application of four modalities to support an individual on their healing journey.
What will the Iconic Health Academy Bachelor of Naturopathy do for you?
Iconic Health Academy’s Bachelor of Naturopathy provides the graduate naturopath with a rounded knowledge of herbal medicine, homoeopathy, massage and nutritional medicine.
The qualification includes biological health sciences, such as anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and differential diagnosis, together with social sciences, and practice management.
As a higher education level qualification, this course also includes studies in critical thinking, to ensure you have the necessary skills to remain up to date with your knowledge, and understand the importance of evidence-based natural health.
At the end of the course, you will be able to demonstrate a broad range of knowledge and skills to be able to analyse a client’s health status, including current medical treatments. Based on this assessment, graduates can design and implement individualised treatment protocols for health management.
It is equally important for graduates to understand their limitations, and identify ‘red flags’ which would require referral to a medical practitioner, to diagnose any serious underlying conditions.
Upon completion of this course, graduate naturopaths will be equipped to practice autonomously in their own professional clinic or work within an established health care practice.
