National Centre for Naturopathic Medicine

It was a privilege to be able to be a small part of the Ministry of Ayush and Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy's (CCRYN INDIA) #7thNaturopathyDay convened on the 18th of November 2024 at the recently inaugurated Central Research Institute of Yoga and Naturopathy (CRIYN) in Nagamangala, Karnataka. It was a thrill to learn of the innovative research and clinical programs in #yoga and #naturopathy - including seeing the impact #naturopathic programs in India's Antarctic research facilities - seeing the development of new technologies to help evolve this system of #traditionalmedicine, learn of the current and future plans for this new clinical research facility and feel the enthusiasm of nearly 2000 students, practitioners, researchers and respected professional elders. I look forward to being able to speak more about the collaborations the National Centre for Naturopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University is developing with our Indian colleagues soon - watch this space!

NEDC worked in collaboration with Southern Cross University and the Public Health Association of Australia to develop a First Nations-specific Companion Document to the Eating Disorder Safe principles. ‘First Nations Perspectives: Strengthening the Eating Disorder Safe Principles’ is a step towards developing culturally safe and relevant approaches to eating disorder prevention and response among First Nations communities. The companion document is essential reading for anyone considering putting the Eating Disorder Safe principles into practice. It provides critical insights and guidance on ensuring cultural safety, relevance, and effectiveness of any Eating Disorder Safe initiative or activity, not only those that specifically target First Nations people and communities. It offers a range of practical strategies for improving the cultural safety and relevance of efforts to prevent and respond to eating disorders. ‘First Nations Perspectives: Strengthening the Eating Disorder Safe Principles’ is a step towards developing culturally safe and relevant approaches to eating disorder prevention and response among First Nations communities.
