What does CNHP mean in CERTIFICATIONS & DIPLOMAS

A Certified Natural Health Practitioner (CNHP) is a trained professional that specializes in the practice of natural health care techniques and remedies. CNHPs are knowledgeable in areas such as nutrition, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, massage, lifestyle coaching, and other forms of naturopathic therapies.

Traditional medicine typically focuses on symptom management while natural health care allows for prevention and optimization of overall wellbeing by utilizing natural remedies such as diet and lifestyle changes, herbs, supplements, detoxification therapies, and more.

As with any form of treatment or therapy, there is always a potential for side effects from natural health care. However, these side effects are usually mild and can usually be avoided by following instructions carefully and speaking to your practitioner about any questions or concerns you may have.
