Advanced Professional Certification in Equine Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathy is a medicinal system relating to the true biological nature of a species, combining both the theory of philosophy and its principles in practice to support healing and maintain health. The word ‘Natur’ pertains to the ‘natural’ state. ‘Pathy’ indicates the disease of a specific organ. Therefore, the Naturopathic ‘wholistic’ and complementary nature of natural medicine is designed to work within the biological nature of the ‘whole’ body, from the inside-out and the outside-in. Optimum balance within each of the body’s systems to function correctly promotes an improved environment to continually aim for a consistent homeostasis health aspect of the whole body prospective.
Equine Naturopaths aim to treat the underlying causes of bodily dysfunction by applying the core principle of treating the cause rather than the symptom.
