The degree of Naturopath and yogic Science will give the graduates the required skills and knowledge to pursue a variety of careers. As a Naturopath, you can expect to deal with a varied clientele, from pregnant women to their children, those with chronic health complaints and those who need assistance with acute conditions, people suffering from the constant high stress associated with many careers.
The ultimate goal of the Naturopath is to gradually and gently improve a patient’s health, enabling and motivating them to make specific lifestyle changes so that they can maintain good health in the long term. Treatment is aimed at treating the body as a whole, the physical, emotional and mental aspects.

Job opportunities are available as consultants in Wellness centres, Nutrition
centres, Hospitals and Health care centres, etc.

social welfare, manufacturing and sale of naturopath products and running
health retreats. There is a mounting demand for Naturopaths in the field of
