Why Study
The Animal Naturopathic Medicine Ēducātum is unique.
We, at the Animal Naturopathic Medicine Ēducātum actually live, breathe and love what we teach. We remain at ground level helping students to achieve their goals in the animal health industry.
We have the pleasure to see our students go on and work with animals big or small, doing what they love and making a significant difference in the animals’ life.
Along the way our graduated students are educating the owners of these animals and for us, this is what our college is all about.
Ēducātum means ‘the act of teaching or training’ in Latin. Education is key, to make a difference in your life as a practitioner, will make a difference in every animal you meet.
As you move through your journey working with animals, at times your knowledge will be the voice for an animal, who cannot always speak for themselves. Our students are the bridge of communication to aid animals in living healthy and happy lives.
“Our passion to help humans - to help animals is our driving force. If this is your passion too, we are here to help you to achieve your goal.”
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathy is a whole medicinal system combining theory (philosophy and principles) and practice that uses an array of natural medicine to support healing and maintain the ‘whole’ aspect of animal health.
Naturopathy is the study of the trilogy of health modalities – Bodywork, Nutrition and Natural Medicine. These three studies combine to create the title of a Naturopath and what is entailed in Naturopathic studies.
Naturopathic medicine was founded upon traditional medicine, where working with the body as a whole. ‘Holistic Medicine’ or ‘Wholistic Medicine’ as we like to say, was seen as the complete foundational and traditional way of helping the body to work as one at an optimum balance of homeostasis.
Animals are no different to humans, and the aspect of being so reliant on each of our body systems physiological mechanisms to survive and thrive.
The physiology aspect is unfortunately often overlooked in the complete realm of todays’ modern allopathic medicine for many animal species.
Learning to understand and work with the individual species will always be the most beneficial way in helping and considering the ‘whole’ aspect of the animal from the inside-out and outside-in from an evolution biology perspective.
Animal naturopaths aim to treat the underlying causes of illness and disease.
The core principle of “healing through nature” guides the naturopath’s use of nutrition, herbal medicine, manual therapies, lifestyle education and looking at the biology of the species from an anatomy and physiology perspective.
