Show Notes
In this episode, Andrew was joined by Dr Amie Steel from ARONAH (Australian Register of Naturopaths and Herbalists). Dr Steel is a true guardian of the naturopathic profession and she wants to protect safe and qualified naturopaths from the non-qualified persons who are sometimes highlighted by the media.
This podcast is highly contentious because "Naturopath" is not a protected title, meaning that anyone who wants to call themselves a naturopath can freely do so. Today Dr Steel takes us through the legalities facing practitioners of natural medicines, the myths propagated by those fearful of registration and what ARONAH are doing to protect properly qualified and safe practising practitioners.
