About the Course
What is Naturopathic Nutrition?
Naturopathic Nutrition stresses the use of whole and organic
foods as medicine - an integral concept of healing in many
indigenous societies. Today, we see that a return to chemical-free
foods, along with other dietary measures, is an effective
answer to many health complaints and common conditions.
CNM students learn about the physiological and biochemical
processes involved in nourishment, and the energetic side
of food as well.
Thousands of years ago, master healers in China perceived
a way to classify food and disease according to simple, easily
observed patterns; one eats cooling foods for overheated conditions,
and warming foods are best for people who feel too cold. Detoxifying
foods are for those who carry an excess of toxins, and building
foods are good for deficient persons, and so on.
The traditional Chinese and East Indian Ayurvedic systems
have been used with pinpoint accuracy to diagnose disease
conditions, and to categorise foods as medicine. The CNM Diploma
Course in Naturopathic Nutrition brings together authentic
traditions of Oriental medicine with current, Western research-based
nutrition.
The CNM Diploma Course in Naturopathic Nutrition equips graduates
with the knowledge and skills to become successful nutritionists.
