This Committee promotes the understanding of natural health—encompassing physical, psychological, and social well-being—within the framework of Green Medicine, which is defined as a holistic system designed to support the human body and its innate capacity for self-healing. It is also responsible for overseeing the publication of educational books and journals, as well as the organization of Green Medicine seminars and professional training workshops.
- International Business Committee
One of the principal objectives for which GMANZ has been established is to create an international business bridge from New Zealand within the natural health industry. This Committee seeks to achieve this aim by promoting the economic value of New Zealand’s expertise in Green Medicine through education, product development, and trade services extending beyond New Zealand.
