Master Herbalist & Holistic Health / Naturopathy Courses

HOLISTIC HEALTH PROFESSIONAL = TRADITIONAL DOCTOR OF NATUROPATHY
All requirements for the HHP are the same as for the TND. Upon completion of your studies, either title may be selected for your diploma – no need to decide now! The difference in naming convention is primarily due to ongoing legal and political issues. We recommend using the designation Holistic Health Professional (HHP) should laws develop in your state that discourage the words “Doctor” or “Naturopath”.

Our online Holistic Health / Naturopathy and Master Herbalist online course is an exhilarating blend of both modern and traditional views of herbalism. It is designed for the student seeking a professional working knowledge of herbalism and alternative health modalities.

All books and resources have been selected to give students a solid foundation of knowledge. Yes, we do require more books and tests than most online herbalist and natural health programs! Your course curriculum is organized into four phases of study. Each phase builds upon the previous to guide you through the learning process of understanding and interpretation.

The title of Master Herbalist denotes proficiency in the use of herbs, it is important that you are able to competently and effectively use herbs for natural healthcare.

Holistic Health Professionals and Traditional Doctors of Naturopathy are are natural health professionals guided by the following principles:

  • First, do no harm. Traditional naturopathy embraces only nontoxic remedies and therapies.
  • The human body has the capacity to heal itself and maintain homeostasis. Naturopathy works in harmony with nature to restore and support the body’s natural healing processes.
  • Naturopaths consider the whole person, not just the physical symptoms but also the mental, emotional, environmental, social, and spiritual factors that affect health.
  • Naturopaths strive to identify and correct the root cause of symptoms, disease, and disorder in the body.
  • Prevention of disease is the goal! Naturopaths advise clients about preventive measures to maintain health and avoid disease.

Certified Herbalist – Facts & Fiction

Many herbal students want to know whether they can become a certified or licensed herbalist. The truth is, there is currently no certifying agency or licensing board for herbalists in the United States. When you see a school offer certification for an herbalist or promote herbalist diploma programs with the titles Certified Herbalist or Certified Master Herbalist it is, in our opinion, a deception.

Most schools that offer herbal programs provide a certificate of completion when you have completed your studies, but this is not the same as obtaining certification from an official board that has legal authority. Herbalists who claim to be “certified” have been misinformed. TRUTH: If you live in the United States, you can use, sell, recommend, formulate herbal remedies, and charge for herbal services without a license or certification.
