Voltaire, famed philosopher and poet once wrote, The art of medicine consists in entertaining the patient while nature cures his disease."" Over the decades, the scientific pragmatism to which the health sciences have adhered has made them detach themselves from such a premise, establishing a wide gap between them and the so-called ""alternative medicine"". However, in recent years, academic circles have had to recognize the usefulness of some of these heterodox methods. For this reason, during 2013, the WHO initiated a network to encourage the use of traditional medicine under guidelines of safety and rationalism. Phytotherapy, whose advances have helped the field of health, enters this field. Aspirin, for example, was manufactured from willow bark. These facts suggest how fascinating and fundamental a postgraduate course like the one we offer you is. Do you want to become versed in the pharmaceutical knowledge of the botanical world? At TECH we will turn you into an advanced professional.
