International Conference of Natural Medicine (ICNM), Barcelona 2024

 

In June 2024, I was lucky enough to attend the International Conference in Natural Medicine (ICNM) this year in Barcelona, Spain.  This is the leading conference of natural medicine in the world and there were a number of top speakers there who spoke of the very latest research in the natural medicine field.  I am now excited to bring this knowledge back to New Zealand, to further help my clients in my practice.  

The following were just three of the 22 topics that were covered during the International Conference in Natural Medicine.  I have added some sites to access research:
