Working with medicinal plants: Using the powers of nature for healing
Courses in herbal medicine/phytotherapy are part of many naturopathic training programs such as Ayurveda, Traditional European Medicine TEN or Chinese Medicine. Each of these medical systems contains comprehensive application knowledge about the effects of medicinal herbs. These are used for preventative health care, to balance and remedy minor ailments and to support the body's self-healing processes in the event of illness.
Many of these courses can also be attended individually and there are individual providers who specialize exclusively in herbal medicine. The courses are therefore suitable for career changers in the health sector as well as for professionals with naturopathic or conventional medical training. They last between one and three years. The course modules are spread regularly throughout the year so that the plants can be observed over the entire annual cycle. The courses conclude with the school's own diplomas; most are recognized as continuing education, further training according to EMR or ASCA for people with a recognized previous education.

Phytotherapy - recognizing the power of medicinal plants
On all continents and in all cultures, the oldest medical therapy is herbal medicine, also known as phytopharmacognosy - the knowledge of healing herbs, plants, leaves, barks, seeds and flowers. These plants or parts of plants are used to make tinctures, ointments, oils, powders or juices, which can be ingested, used for compresses or rubbed in to alleviate or even cure a wide variety of illnesses, injuries or their symptoms. Nature has fascinating healing substances for numerous ailments and injuries and, despite the advancement of conventional medicine, medicinal plants are still very popular and in demand.
In numerous courses, experienced and renowned naturopaths impart their in-depth knowledge of modern and traditional phytotherapy. The participants of such courses can then apply their knowledge privately, but people with a professional medical background are also addressed. After a course, they can apply and implement their knowledge directly in their working environment. For example, if you already run a practice in the field of alternative medicine or massage and would now like to include aspects of phytotherapy in your services, you will be able to address a larger clientele.
