Naturopathy

Having completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga and Naturopathy from AAFT Online, I can say the combined Diploma gives far more career exposure than a standalone Yoga Science diploma. It equips you with both yogic practices and natural healing therapies like hydrotherapy and diet therapy, opening doors to roles like Naturopathy Consultant, Wellness Coach, and Health Therapist — not just teaching. It also offers better earning potential and entrepreneurship opportunities. Highly recommend going for the combined diploma!

Allopathy uses conventional and Science backed drugs and surgery to quickly treat symptoms. 

Homeopathy treats "like with like" using highly diluted and natural substances to boost body's healing. 

Naturopathy depends on natural therapies (diet, herbs, lifestyle) to fix root cause and prevent disease. 

Hope it helped in solving your doubt! All the best!
