This
five month course runs on the same structure as the short course in
Naturopathic Nutrition. It aims to teach basic Western Herbal Medicine
to those who are already working in healthcare. It includes information on
the principles of herbal medicine and teaches the actions of some herbs
commonly used by the general public. It does not cover all herbs commonly
used by practitioners of herbal medicine.
After completing this course, students should have enough information to confidently offer recommendations for herbs as an adjunct to their existing practice. It will also provide information on the interactions between certain herbs and prescription medication. It will not provide the depth of knowledge required to achieve full practitioner status. Although ICIM are happy to open this course to non practitioners, a certified knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology is required. ICIM provide a correspondence course for the Anatomy & Physiology which can be taken up at any point throughout the year. It does need to be completed before embarking on the herbal course.
