Providing Quality Natural Health Education Since 1994

Since 1994, The Avicenna Institute of Natural Healing has trained  students in healing techniques from around the globe.  Students explore the common thread that runs through all healing systems, as well as gain knowledge from healing traditions that would be lost if not preserved in courses like the ones offered here.  All classes include private instruction, online classroom instruction, video and audio resources. A certificate is sent to each student upon completion of the courses. When courses are purchased individually they also include supplies.

The information I've learned so far has already begun to benefit the lives of my patient's and my family." - Justin P.

 " I read your comments for my first Quiz and I want to thank you from my heart for all of them. I loved reading every single one...Thank You for having this course online and making it easy to learn no matter what distance there is.  Your time is very much appreciated and I hope to be a great student. Thanks for the fun, I love and enjoy all this!"  - Claudia

 "I have used it (Su-Jok Reflexology) several times with my daughter since the class.  Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us!" - Laura

"I am enjoying your courses very much and want to thank you for providing them at such a reasonable cost." - Riki

"From all the comparison I have done on ND distance programs (and I looked at them all) yours teaches the same things they do, yet your program is much more affordable. I am excited and I feel I am learning so much more then most Traditional ND programs would teach.  You Reflexology program goes into so much more detail on meridians and your program in general teaches so much more on other  traditions of natural medicine.  I love it." - Jennifer (Canada)

"You are a great teacher!" - Janet

"Thanks so much.  I really love reading the comments you add.  It really does help students in knowing where they may need to improve or where they do know what they are doing!! I recieved my Herbal Preparations diploma today.  Thanks so much." - Jennifer

"Just had to tell you again that this was a great video.  These are so helpful with a distance program." - J.P.

I would like to add that I have learned so much from this unit! I cannot believe how my thought process has changed just by reading this one unit... It has started me on a path hungry for knowledge. - Jill K.

"I thank you for making Naturopathic classes available to many people! For ALL THANKS!" - Claudia A.

This unit on typology has been overwhelming, yet very enlightening for me.  During my college years and experience teaching English and History, I have encountered the concepts discussed in this unit viz., humor, temperament, melancholic, choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic etc.---but I never understood these terms in their complete historical and medical sense until now.  - Aida
