Welcome to the Natural Medicine Division
The licensing and regulation of natural medicines in Colorado falls under two state agencies: the Department of Revenue (DOR) and the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
The Natural Medicine Division in the DOR licenses and regulates natural medicine businesses – healing centers, cultivations, manufacturers, testing facilities, and their owners and employees.
DORA licenses and regulates facilitators of natural medicine services. Folks interested in becoming a licensed facilitator may visit the DORA Natural Medicine web page for more information on licensing requirements. To look up a facilitator license, please use DORA's license look-up tool. The DOR license look-up tool is linked in a green icon box below.
Current Natural Medicine Rules (effective Oct. 1, 2024)
