There is now a scientific basis supporting the efficacy of many phytotherapeutic products for certain indications. The place that Phytotherapy should occupy in therapeutics should be that for which it has demonstrated its usefulness and safety.

Efficacy is achieved only with the proper use of phytotherapeutic preparations, both in terms of indications and form of administration. 

This program offers a current vision of Phytotherapy and its application in the health field, including the latest contributions and advances. The contents are guaranteed by the teaching staff involved in the Postgraduate certificate, since in one way or another they all work in the field of phytotherapy or are related to it.

Thus, the student will learn based on the experience of the teachers and experience evidence-based medicine, which results in training the student to be more effective and accurate. Taking into account that, on the one hand, the different university format programs generally lack a deep and continuously updated training in Phytotherapy, and on the other hand, that current health trends lean towards the use of safe and effective natural remedies, it is necessary to be able to offer students the possibility of expanding their knowledge and therapeutic skills with a greater specialization in the use of medicinal plants, from the professional and academic side necessary to adequately face their future in this field.
