The World Organization of Natural Medicine is not a credentialing body. Instead, we recognize the transformative potential of natural medicine and prioritize making these healing options accessible to those in the greatest need.
We further our mission through research, service-learning initiatives that provide vital care to underserved populations, and humanitarian efforts. We invite potential members to engage in doctoral research, fellowships, and service-learning to earn a Doctor of Humanitarian Services (DHS) or to pursue a fellowship to become a Practitioner of Humanitarian Services (PHS)
What do We do?
To fulfill our mission, we are engaged in the following activities:
At the World Organization of Natural Medicine, we are dedicated to empowering healthcare practitioners with transformative opportunities to deepen their clinical expertise and knowledge. Through our programs in research, fellowships, and service learning, we provide an enriching environment for our members to explore various aspects of medicine.
Our members engage in research initiatives to advance traditional medicine, natural medicine, and integrative humanitarian medicine. By expanding our collective research capabilities, we strive to contribute valuable insights that can enhance patient care and treatment. We recognize the importance of collaboration in our mission to restore and preserve the integrity of traditional natural medicine. Partnering with humanitarian organizations and civil society groups, we work to alleviate human suffering and ensure that these healing practices endure for future generations. Through our Clinics for Humanity ™ outreach programs, we deliver essential natural healthcare services to underserved communities, helping to bridge the gap in healthcare access. We also encourage our members to delve into traditional healing techniques, enhancing our research efforts and creating a lasting legacy of knowledge that can benefit future generations. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the world of natural medicine and humanitarian care.
Our Philosophy
At the World Organization of Natural Medicine, we believe that health is a fundamental human right. To uphold this belief, we strive to collaborate with individuals, educators, healthcare professionals, and national leaders to recognize that original and traditional healing systems are legitimate options for marginalized communities. Additionally, we are committed to our humanitarian mission through the establishment of "Clinics for Humanity.
Our Values
We strive to raise our voices and extend our hands and feet in service.
In this partnership, we honor those in need as engaged participants rather than mere recipients. We believe that healthcare should prioritize self-care, disease prevention, and the sustainable development of rural communities, rather than for-profit motives. We do not view the resources entrusted to us as possessions, but as tools to support the world’s marginalized. We stand alongside those we serve and those who support our collective mission as true partners. Our relationships are intentional and varied, fostering collaborative efforts to accomplish our mission.

Constitution
WONM Consitution
Wellness is more than the absence of disease... it is an approach to health that aims to reduce the risk of serious illness. Being proactive not just reactive, prevention not just treatment, is a total approach as opposed to segmented parts. Looking at the individual (mind, body spirit) and finding a balance. It is a framework for achieving potential well-being and a lifelong process. Nations experiencing wellness in mind body and spirit are less likely to engage in war and more likely to try and find peaceful solutions to unresolved conflicts with other nations.
