Phytotherapy is the field of study that investigates the use of medicinal plants, plant substances and herbal preparations in health, wellbeing and integrative-practice contexts. It is an area that requires technical knowledge, attention to safety, an understanding of interactions and respect for the legal framework of each country.
This programme presents the foundations of phytotherapy 100% online, focusing on pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, medicinal plants, quality criteria, safety, interactions between plants, medicines and supplements, and notions of legal framework and professional responsibility.
It was developed for health professionals and advanced students who wish to deepen their knowledge of phytotherapy in a structured, scientific and responsible way. You can study at your own pace, review the content whenever you need and integrate the knowledge progressively into your professional path. As a knowledge-based, theory-led discipline, this course has no mandatory in-person component.
Prior training in a health field, or a background in health sciences, biology, physiology and clinical reasoning, is recommended. Enrolment and the future use of the knowledge must respect the legislation, professional scope and rules applicable in the learner's country, state, province, association or competent body.
On completing the programme, the learner receives a Certificate of Completion issued in partnership with Manual Therapy Academy (Canada), corresponding to 200h+ of education. The certificate confirms the completion of an online educational programme and does not, by itself, constitute a clinical licence, an authorisation to practise, an authorisation to prescribe, automatic recognition by regulatory bodies, or the right to use a protected professional title. The professional use of medicinal plants, herbal products, supplements or herbal formulas is regulated differently from one country, state or province to the next; it is the learner's responsibility to verify the requirements applicable where they intend to study, practise or seek professional recognition. The content presented requires study, responsibility, appropriate assessment and use only within each learner's lawful professional scope.
If the programme is not for you, request a refund within 14 days (EU) or 7 days (Brazil), in line with your local consumer law. No paperwork, no awkward questions.
