Description

There is an explosion of interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in recent years, and it is easy to understand why. As conventional medicine becomes expensive, CAM provides people a cheaper option for improving their health and overall quality of life. Beyond the inexpensive price tag, CAM also affords people the opportunity to naturally enhance their body’s healing abilities and have more control over their health issues.

There are numerous options when it comes to the type of complementary and alternative therapies individuals can receive. One of the oldest and most effective is that of thermo-auricular therapy or more commonly referred to as ear candling. This form of therapy is used to remove excess wax and other accumulations in the ears using Hopi ear candles. It has been practiced since the ancient times in Chinese, Egyptian, Native American and Mayan societies. There are many health benefits that can be derived from ear candling, including detoxification of the lymph system, improved hearing, infection prevention, pain relief, removal of parasites growing in the ear, and much more.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
