AIMS

This short part-time course was initially designed for qualified health practitioners and therapists. Its purpose is to ensure the nutritional advice being given is safe and effective. It is however open to anyone with an interest in the subject. It offers a basic understanding of nutritional bio-chemistry whilst focusing on the practical use of food and supplements to promote optimum health.

The course consists of three lecture weekends with two months of detailed correspondence-type home study in-between each lecture weekend and one final assignment. The course covers an array of vital nutritional knowledge including: the therapeutic qualities of food, toxicity and detoxification; bowel flora, dietary functions of minerals and vitamins and their deficiency and toxicity symptoms; the use of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements as well as special nutrients. This course is a perfect adjunct to any therapy and will enhance your own health as well as your current or future practice.  Graduates of the course whom already have a recognised CAM therapy can apply to ARCHTI for membership”

“The course is well designed and well run with excellent pre-typed notes supplied. The venue is excellent, as have been previous seminars that I have attended and the knowledge and teaching abilities of the lecturers is also first class”.

WESTERN HERBS

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.
