Phytotherapy - recognizing the power of medicinal plants

Questions and answers

In Switzerland, herbal medicine training courses with a focus on phytotherapy, as part of naturopathy, are offered by various schools in different courses. Some of these courses are aimed exclusively at people from the healthcare sector with previous training in conventional medicine, while others are aimed at anyone interested, even without any previous knowledge of medicine or alternative medicine. Therefore, please contact the providers you are interested in directly and ask about the target groups of the individual herbal medicine training courses.

Self-employment after extensive phytotherapy training as a phytotherapist is possible, but not profitable in all cases. It should be noted that method number 145 (phythotherapy, western) can only be registered with the EMR by doctors or in combination with other method groups, such as Ayurveda (method no. 24) including Ayurvedic remedies (method no. 26) or naturopathic practices NHP naturopaths (method no. 131), or Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM (method no. 185) including Tibetan Medicine (method no. 189) or Phytotherapy TCM (method no. 14). If you have not registered any of these methods or are not a qualified doctor, you may find it difficult to generate and retain patients, as you will not be able to bill through the supplementary health insurance schemes. An EMR-recognized training or ASCA-recognized training in the field of alternative medicine or alternative naturopathy is therefore an important criterion for successful self-employment as a therapist.

Various training and further education courses in the field of phytotherapy are offered here in Switzerland, all of which take place at different times and dates. As a rule, however, the attendance dates are held at weekends or extended weekends, sometimes also on individual days during the week. Full-time training to become a phytotherapist is rather unusual, while part-time phytotherapy training is the norm.

In addition to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbalism and Ayurvedic herbalism, Western phytotherapy is also offered by many training institutes as a phytotherapy course. As not every school offers all specialties, it is recommended that you contact the individual schools directly via the contact form or the "Ask a question" button to find out about this or another complementary therapy / complementary medicine method.
