Oligotherapy
This course explores the art and science of oligotherapy, an approach based on the use of essential minerals in very small doses to support the body’s balance and vitality. These trace elements, though present in minute quantities, play a crucial role in major biological functions — immunity, energy production, mood regulation, digestion, hormonal balance, and more.
Students learn to recognize the signs of mineral deficiencies or imbalances and how to correct them naturally, gently, and without side effects. Each trace element is presented as a subtle regulator of the biological terrain, working in harmony with others to restore internal equilibrium.
The course also teaches how to combine trace elements intelligently according to individual needs — to strengthen vitality, manage stress, support the immune system, or address functional disorders.
At the crossroads of science and naturopathy, this training offers a refined understanding of the role of minerals in overall health, while keeping the human being at the center of the therapeutic process.
Oligotherapy is a relatively new technique that is currently generating a great deal of interest among the medical community, given the intriguing therapeutic possibilities it reveals.
Oligotherapy is based on solid scientific foundations. In France, the clinical studies conducted by Dr. Ménétrier are based on over 75,000 case files.
The World Health Organization (WHO) concluded in a report that health problems in certain populations were directly linked to trace element deficiencies.
It is rare to find a doctor in Europe who does not prescribe, alongside an antibiotic, the trace element compound Copper-Gold-Silver.
Oligotherapy is an essential complement to all alternative therapies as well as allopathic medicine.
For each trace element studied, you will find in this course the signs of deficiency, therapeutic action, natural sources, and dosage.
