Alternative Medicine: The Science of Hands-On-Healing

Course details

• Through the use of 21 lectures, hours of on-demand video and 4 supplementing articles.
• Understand the limitations of the Newtonian Science Paradigm
• Decide whether a particular healing modality would be something you'd like to learn
• Learn about scientific experiments that have been carried out by healers
• This course is ideal for anyone with a curiosity in 'hands-on' healing who is looking to gain exposure to the science behind these techniques.

Course Overview
This course will teach you all about the power of hands-on healing through a brief history of how healing came to be recognised as a genuine therapy for certain physical and mental conditions. With detailed description and analysis of scientific experiments that have been carried out by healers, you will receive a broad knowledge of this area and be in a position to decide whether a particular healing modality would be something you'd like to learn.
