Organotherapy is a naturopathic practice that is becoming increasingly recognized. Based on natural and biological principles, it uses extracts from animal organs to support the functions of a weakened organ. At the Academy of Professional Naturopaths and Naturotherapists (AcPNN), this approach is an integral part of rigorous, standards-compliant training.
What is organotherapy?
Organotherapy, also known as opotherapy, is a therapeutic method using organ extracts (liver, thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, etc.) from animals such as pigs and sheep. The principle is based on a simple idea: “the organ treats the organ”.
For example, in the case of thyroid dysfunction, thyroid extracts can be recommended to support the gland naturally.
In naturopathy, these extracts are generally administered as capsules, mother tinctures or homeopathic dilutions, depending on the individual’s needs. The aim is to stimulate, support or regulate the function of the targeted organ, without heavy side effects.
A safe, supervised natural approach
Although organotherapy is based on natural principles, it is not improvised. Health Canada regulates the use of products based on organic extracts, monitoring their quality, safety, and efficacy. These products must meet strict criteria, including controlled origin (healthy animals), chemical residue-free processing, precise forms of administration (oral, sublingual, or topical), and defined dosage.
This rigorous approach reassures naturopaths (N.C.) and customers alike who are seeking natural yet effective solutions. At AcPNN, this approach is taught with constant attention to standards, ethics, and overall well-being.
Faced with these challenges, it’s crucial to adopt simple but effective strategies to reduce stress and preserve our mental well-being. That’s where smiling comes in!
Practical applications in naturopathy
Organotherapy can be used to support multiple body systems:
- Thyroid function: in cases of fatigue or metabolic slowdown.
- Adrenal system: to help manage chronic stress.
- Liver support: to accompany detoxification cures.
- Renal or pancreatic function: for regulation or prevention.
The products are often presented as complexes, such as Thyroïdea 5 CH, which contains diluted thyroid extracts.
