On Saturday, August 29, 2015, the 40th Naturheilkundetag takes place from 9.30 am to 6 pm in the Hannover Congress Centrum, Theodor-Heuss-Platz 1-3, 30175 Hannover. This year's motto for the 40th anniversary reads: "YES to naturopathy, YES to alternative practitioner". The visitors can expect an informative and practical lecture and seminar program. The entrance fee for the one-day specialist event of the Association of German Non-medical Practitioners (VDH), which includes the entire lecture and workshop program, the visit of the accompanying industrial exhibition and the common barbecue at the end of the 40th day of naturopathy, costs € 10.00. All non-medical practitioners as well as candidates from Germany and abroad are addressed.

Throughout the day, around 40 specialist lectures deal with topics such as anxiety disorders, burn-out syndrome, the taboo topic of hair loss, atopic dermatitis, Lyme disease or the strengthening of the immune system and much more. The professional training and further education and the direct exchange of views with colleagues and speakers are in the foreground. This exchange of knowledge and experience on the most varied naturopathic healing methods and therapies is of great importance for all representatives of the free naturopathic profession for their daily practice and organization. In addition to the further development of medical practice and therapeutic procedures, the current legislation and various product, service and technology innovations of the approximately 60 medical-pharmaceutical companies are also in the spotlight in the accompanying Indurstria exhibition.
