Topics in this program include the history and philosophy of traditional naturopathy, detoxification, iridology, body movement, arthritis, manual therapies, the effect of diet on health, and three electives. The program ends with courses that focus on business and practice skills, followed by the consulting practicum, in which students gain experience working with individuals one-to-one. These aspects of the program are vital for those who wish to work as traditional naturopaths.
