Online Holistic Health Practitioner Schools

The American Holistic Health Association defines holistic health care as care that encompasses a person's physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health needs.

There are many types of holistic health practitioners, including naturopaths, herbalists, acupuncturists and homeopaths. Technology has made it possible to offer online training programs and schools devoted to this type of study. Each state has different laws about working as a holistic health practitioner, so it's important to look into the legal statutes in your state before deciding on an online education program.
