Natural Health Consultant

What is a Natural Health Consultant?

What is a natural health consultant? Put simply, he or she is a person who has a broad understanding of the several disciplines that fall under the heading of "natural medicine."

This includes homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, osteopathy, medical herbalism, and other similar or closely related approaches.

The natural health consultant is not necessarily an expert, nor a practitioner, in any of these fields. However, the consultant�s expansive knowledge about the capabilities of all these fields allows them to explain natural health options to people, advise them on which discipline might be an appropriate starting point, and assist them in being referred to those who can provide the necessary treatments
