| Bach Flower Remedies |
 |
Let us find the one thing in life that attracts us most and do it. Let that one thing be so part of us that it is as natural as breathing; as natural as it is for the bee to collect honey, and the tree to shed its old leaves in autumn and bring forth new ones in the spring. If we study nature we find that every creature, bird, tree and flower has its definite part to play, its own definite and peculiar work through which it aids and enriches the entire Universe.
Edward Bach
The healing properties of flower essences can be explained in terms of a philosophy of life that recognizes a human being as much more than a physical body. Illness is an inner voice warning us that change is needed in our mental state, perception or way of life. The inner voice calls for this change so that we may be restored to health and a joyful experience of life. Flower essences were developed to enable us to effect those changes in a gentle, natural, but powerful way. |

| Basic Clinical Sciences |
|
This course is designed to give the student a good grounding in basic clinical sciences. We believe that this course provides essential knowledge for all natural therapists and is an outstanding addition to our prospectus of courses.
In holistic medicine we need to look at the "whole" person in order to restore a vital natural balance to the miraculous human body. This means that, as natural therapists, we should have an excellent grounding in basic clinical sciences on which to build our chosen therapy or therapies. Only in this way can we truly have a holistic, or "whole" approach. |

| Basic Philosophy |
|
We all philosophize whenever we attempt to handle abstract ideas, and it matters considerably whether we do it well or do it badly.
The object of this course is to introduce the student to the activity of philosophizing, and to dispel the myth that philosophy is a remote and obscure subject, which can only profitably be studied by the brilliant few. |

| Bates Method |
|
| My own case is in no way unique. Thousands of other sufferers from defects of vision have benefited by following the simple rules of that Art of Seeing which we owe to Bates and his followers. | Aldous Huxley |
An eminent New York eye specialist, Dr. William H. Bates, devised this method of simple techniques and exercises to achieve and maintain healthy eyesight. It can help anyone - no matter how good or poor their sight may be - by helping to improve the health and strength of the eyes. This course has been designed to train both the therapist interested in treating others and the individual interested in self-help. |

| Beauty Specialist |
|
We may not be able to prevent nature's impact on our appearance but we are in a position to reduce certain of its effects on our skin. At around the age of 25, the first signs of aging begin to appear on our skin. While good diet and rest are the greatest contributors to healthy, vibrant skin, there are also techniques, which we can learn to aid what Mother Nature has given us.
In this course the student is taught how to give themselves or others a "facial." Techniques such as facials and masks have been developed to work on a multitude of skin problems from brown age spots, to superficial scarring, to rejuvenating the skin. You will be taught some skincare routines that will help you to look and feel better. |

| Behavioral Therapy |
|
Andrew Salter, a pioneer in modern behavioral therapy, used concepts of excitation and inhibition as the basis of treatment for the neurotic. When excitatory forces dominate, people are action-oriented and emotionally free. They meet life on their own terms. The neurotic, on the other hand, always suffers from an excess of inhibition. For psychological health there must be a proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory forces in the brain. Through this course students will learn how behavioral therapy employs mental and physical exercises to build and strengthen the excitatory processes, creating a new balance where they can dominate the brain function and overcome problematic behavior. |

| Bereavement Counseling |
|
Working with the bereaved is a specialized and important area in counseling work requiring empathy based on knowledge of the stages and characteristics of bereavement. The sense of loss, intense grief and depression that follow bereavement can be almost unbearable, and the need for counseling is often a desperate one. |
|
|
| Body Language |
|
Body language comprises almost 80% of human communication. It is of great importance in all business and social situations. When conflict exist between the spoken word and the messages the body sends out, body language is stronger, and people tend to believe the message they see rather than the one they hear. This course teaches the student how to "read" and use body language more effectively to avoid creating confusion and to maximize cooperation. It demonstrates how body language indicates aggressive, assertive and submissive behavior, and promotes an understanding of the difference between congruous and incongruous body language. |

| Business Development for the Alternative Health Therapist |
|
The aim of Natural Health Institutes is to not only encourage education in alternative therapies and lifestyles but also to inspire students to put their new learning into productive use. Starting up their own business and passing on their knowledge to others is the single best way to do this.
Gaining a recognized qualification in your chosen vocation is admirable. However, should you desire to put your newly acquired knowledge to practical use you would be well advised to first take on a course dedicated to the art of setting up and operating a successful business.
This course has been specially designed to focus on the needs of the alternative health practitioner and includes all the essentials to launch you in a successful practice. |
