CONSTITUTIONAL ENERGETICS

Gain clinical confidence and enhance your patient outcomes with understanding the intricacies of Western Energetics. Discover how Western Energetics matches the individual presentations and habits, as well as the clinical research.

Humoral theory is the Western medicine version of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine energetic paradigm approaches. Many western natural health practitioners have an interest in western energetics, or have heard of it, but might not have an understanding of how this knowledge can enhance your existing modality and deepen your clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.

Humoral theory, or Western Energetics, was the dominant medical approach utilised in the time of Hippocrates and Galen for many years. It incorporates the variance of influences from diet, lifestyle, seasons, nutrition and herbal medicines as well as an individual’s attitudes and emotions. All of these factors combine to create a truly holistic approach to clinical treatments. 

In Humoral theory, the lifestyle habits, mental attitudes and emotional aspects of a person are just as important as their physical health.

Naturopaths today often look towards Eastern medicine to provide those energetic answers to our clinical queries, yet many great understandings can be found within traditional historical Western medicine. There is a growing interest in this model of energetic knowledge and we cover it all in this unique course. 

Dive into the wonderful world of Sanguines, Phlegmatics, Melancholics and Cholerics and discover how these temperaments can influence your understanding of constitutional approaches. 

This course is packed full of detailed information covering the most common characteristics and patient management solutions that you can add to your existing practice.

Energetics course comparison

Are you trying to decide which Energetics course is for you?

The Constitutional Energetics Course (suitable for all modalities) covers the Western humors, TCM and Ayurvedic energetics with a focus on diet, lifestyle and personality in great detail. It is a good foundational course for those who want to really understand energetic approaches. The Herbal Energetics Course (suitable for herbalists and naturopaths) requires a foundational understanding of energetics and Western humours as it focuses more on tissue states, degrees and the herbs themselves. 

Here is a breakdown of the topics in each course and how they compare.

You can do one of the courses, one at a time, or both at once with the bundle.

Please enquire if you would like to understand which course would suit you.
