International Scope & Abroad Benefits

Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) Certificate

This page explains where and how a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) certificate can be useful outside India, with complete honesty and clarity.

Nature Cure Institute, Maharashtra:

  • ❌ Is not a government medical license in any foreign country
  • ❌ Does not authorize allopathic medical practice abroad

✔ It is an academic & professional qualification in Natural & Holistic Health Sciences

Understanding this clearly protects students from false expectations.

The value of the ND certificate abroad lies mainly in career opportunities, professional identity, and skill-based roles, not medical licensing.
