Find Natural Healing Therapies in the United States and Canada. Though there are numerous CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) therapies from which to choose, natural healing therapies that are commonly offered at natural healthcare schools include practical instruction in massage therapy, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and holistic healing, among others.

Natural healing therapies like massage therapy are a safe and natural treatment to reduce stress and alleviate pain. Individuals who would like to pursue an education in natural healing therapies such as this gain in-depth instruction in anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. In addition, hands-on training is provided in an assortment of bodywork techniques including deep tissue, Swedish massage, and sports massage – to list a few. Programs in massage therapy often range from 300-1,000 hours, and result in a certificate or diploma.

Training in other natural healing therapies like reflexology involve studies of a science based on the zones and reflex areas of the ears, feet and hands that correlate to specific bodily systems, glands and organs. A relatively condensed program, graduates of a reflexology course can go onto becoming reflexologists or may wish to integrate natural healing therapies like this into established massage therapy practices.

Some natural healing therapies taught at holistic healing schools include training in aromatherapy, anti-aging medicine, life coaching, art and poetry therapies, hypnotherapy, colon hydrotherapy, herbology, polarity therapy, Qi gong and so much more. For example, if you would like to learn about natural healing therapies like herbal medicine, you have the option to enroll in an introductory course where you will learn basic principles and theories of the craft and how to effectively use safe, home remedies for common ailments.

In some healing arts schools, academic programs offering natural healing therapies like herbal medicine, naturopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture may lead to a degree. It is always wise to review curriculums and course prerequisites prior to applying to the college or school of choice. In most cases, general educational programs that offer natural healing therapies like Reiki, healing touch, massage therapy and other natural healthcare modalities do not require a college degree or other formal education.

Overall, natural healing therapies are gaining wide acceptance throughout the general public. This is one of the many motivations why individuals might seriously consider a career in natural healthcare. Enrolling in a natural healing school to become a natural healthcare provider is a good start to a long-term, professional goal.

My Top-Ten List of Why Some People are Hostile to Natural Medicine

Laziness

In this quick-fix, instant-gratification society some people are too lazy and too spoiled to do the actual work required to be healthy. It’s so much easier and so tempting to simply pop some pills hoping that that will somehow deliver health.

Drug Addiction

Between Coffee, Chocolate, Green Tea, Black Tea, Cola Drinks, Yerba Mate, Cigarettes and Alcohol, some people don’t go a day without some sort of stimulant drug or alcohol. For the people already addicted to these legal drugs embracing prescription or over-the-counter drugs is the natural choice.

Racism

Herbal Medicine and most of the holistic health modalities whether it is yoga, acupuncture, tai-chi, qi-gong, meditation, etc. were developed by the non-White, Non-European peoples of this world. Some people hostile to natural medicine are simply hiding a racist attitude that if something isn’t validated by a white man in a white labcoat then somehow it’s isn’t valid. I would much rather trust in the integrity of a Akan, Ibo, Mayan, Aborigine, Cree or Tibetian Bush Doctor/Traditional Healer than I would any scientist or drug company. Ironically the same scientists and drug companies that discredit the knowledge of the indigenous peoples of the world are the same ones dispatching ethnobotanists to every remote corner of the world to learn the secrets of Bush Doctors so they can patent them.

Sheep-ism

Some people are sheep and usually will only follow and seldom lead. They are not independent thinkers, and haven’t spent the time and energy needed to challenge the information being spoon-fed to them by the corporate media and the scientific community. This society is very affluent and if you don’t ask too many questions or make any trouble there are vast rewards available to you.

Unfortunately holistic health isn’t one of them. For holistic health you need to listen to you body instead of authority figures. You need to connect to nature and to some sort of spiritual core. You need to be the leader of your own life.

Snake-Oil Salesmen

As written in my article ” The Natural Health Products Hustle”, there are too many snake oil salesmen in the natural health products market making false claims and dubious products. For anyone with a natural tendency to be skeptical of natural healing this provides all the excuse they need to be hostile.

Godlessness

Some people just don’t believe. Some people don’t believe in respecting nature, in respecting their bodies, in experiencing the connectedness between all things. For unbelievers such as these they will have a challenging time suspending their negativity and disbelief towards holistic healing and thus may never benefit from it fully.

The Anti-Christ Factor

Some people do believe. What they choose to believe in are the Gods of Science and Industry. They believe in the rape and pillaging of the environment, in factory farming, in genetically modifying food, in pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Their belief system compels them to see all things natural as heresy.

Stubbornness

Like George Bush with his Iraq War and Napoleon in his Russian Campaign, some people are too stubborn to admit when they’ve made a mistake or are on the wrong side of an issue. Forsaking Natural Medicine for synthetic factory medicine was a mistake and is a mistake. There is a place in healing for high tech equipment and synthetic drugs. In my opinion those options are for emergency situations or in situations where natural therapy has failed. They just have everything ass-backwards. Natural medicine is the real medicine and Allopathic Medicine should be used as “Alternative Medicine” and treated with the degree of skepticism currently reserved for Natural Medicine by the mainstream.

Fear

Some people are afraid of nature. They are afraid of anything untamed by man. If it isn’t slickly packaged, sterile, and dead, they are afraid. If it doesn’t come with the seal of approval of the government or the scientific community they are also afraid. Their fear keeps them dis-empowered.

Factory People Need Factory Medicine?

If you have lost your individuality and become a mass-produced factory person, eating mass-produced factory food, having mass-produced factory thoughts, then perhaps only mass-produced factory medicine will resonate with you. Perhaps it’s wrong to even try to convince you to eat organically or to heal yourself holistically. Maybe you have evolved into some kind of Darwinian nightmare that can only live on synthetic pleasures.
