NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE: WHY & HOW?
Most of you who read this blog regularly know, I decided there is now one year to reorient myself professionally to become a naturopath.
I get a lot of emails about naturopathy lately and that's a good sign! So I decided to explain in more detail what naturopathy, what courses to follow and give you a naturopathic list if you wish to consult!
1. Naturopathy: what is it?
Being naturopath is to work on the lifestyle of the person and make the active primary prevention.In summary we are health educators who are trying to help people become better actors of their health by reforming their lives daily.
The naturopath uses various techniques:
- The alimention or nutritional hygiene
- Psychology (relaxation, stress management, relational hygiene, counseling, brief psychotherapy, relaxation therapy, ...)
- Physical exercise (gymnastics, yoga, fitness ...)
- Hydrology (sauna, steam room, hot baths-froids- derivatives ...)
- Manual techniques (non-medical massages, ointments ...)
- Reflexology (applied to the foot, ear, nose, back, shiatsu, Knapp methods ...)
- Breathing techniques (Bol Jacquie r ...)
- Plant science and aromatology (essential oils, Bach flowers)
- The energy techniques (magnetism, working with magnets)
- Vibrating technical s (use of color, solar radiation, music).
The naturopath occasionally works with natural nutritional supplements as part of a strategy cures (detoxification, revitalization, stabilization) to improve the client's field.
During a consultation, the naturopath establishes a health check to estimate the vital energy of an individual through its constitutional and temperamental portrait. Different techniques can be used such as morphological assessment (which is based on the person's constitution, or iridology)
Depending on the vitality available, the naturopath will support its consultant or refer allopathic doctor in an emergency.
Following the balance sheet, the naturopath will establish a vital hygiene program that will include tips for better nutritional health to better relax or manage stress better and to practice physical exercises essential to health. It also includes other techniques using reflexology advice, hydrology or breathing, plants, food supplements, or energy technology.
I have often said here, consult a naturopath has changed many things in my life, allowed me to see a number of ideas on health, and to put me up at a time when I was on the edge of burnout.
The consultation costs between € 80 and € 120 (fairly approximate range but do not hesitate to ask the price of the consultation when you take appointment). You will usually need a consultation, and this is an excellent investment to make for your health and your well-being every day!
In addition, some mutual consultations now reimburse naturopathic so please check if yours proposes.
2. Become a naturopath
Naturopathy to date, is not yet a regulated profession, so there are a number of formations (which I personally find quite risky) by mail ...
If you want to get started in business naturopath, I absolutely recommend choosing a college affiliated with the FENAHMAN (French Federation of Naturopathy Schools). This will ensure quality training with a common platform to all naturopathic health practitioners. There is a federal review to which all students are subjected, which guarantees the reliability and professional ethics of future naturopaths.
I chose to follow the teaching of ISUPNAT (I speak in more detail here) and I am delighted with my choice! However I would strongly advise you to visit different schools and choose the one in which you feel better!
3. Choose naturopath
To find a practitioner near you, you can use the site of the OMNES (Organization of Natural Medicine and Health Education) who exercises since 1981.
If you are in Paris or the Paris region, I can only recommend Marie Cammarata, Frédéric Boukobza or Isabelle Gomez. I am fortunate to benefit from their education and their advice and they are really top!
I hope this article has helped you! Do not hesitate to ask questions in the comments and I take the opportunity to edit the article if necessary!
