The NZNMA was established in the early 1990s as a professional, non-profit organization of Health Professionals dedicated to the Promotion of Integrative Healthcare, incorporating Allopathic, Complementary and Alternative Healthcare. 


The aims of the association include research and education in all aspects of nutritional and environmental medicine, as they pertain to the preservation of health and prevention of disease, providing treatment options to optimise health in the community.


The NZNMA is independent of all governments, government agencies and other organisations and relies solely on Membership fees for funding.  

The NZNMA Defines Natural Medicine as:


Natural Medicine.  A system of advanced health care used to help promote, maintain or restore optimal health through the proficient application of selected natural modalities, in accordance with the homeostatic mechanisms inherent in all human beings.

A practitioner referral service is provided on this site. Those unable to access the Internet may contact the Secretary to be placed in touch with an appropriate health practitioner in their locality. This service is available throughout New Zealand.

Natural Health Sciences


Natural Health Sciences is defined as the study of the interactions of both nutritional and environmental factors with human physiology, biochemistry, pathology and anatomy.  It includes the clinical application of these interactions in the optimisation of health and the prevention and treatment of disease.


This may involve the removal of certain foods or chemicals from the patient's environment, the use of rotation diets and the provision of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids or other nutritional supplements.


Excesses or deficiencies of any nutrient or the presence of basic chemicals or electromagnetic radiation results in cellular dysfunction and illness.


The NZNMA is governed by the Executive Management Committee who control the management of the administration, the affairs, property and funds of the society, and have the authority to interpret the meaning of the rules of the society and any matter relating to the Society.
