A big business over the course of the past twenty years, complementary medicine is now a viable career path for those interested in working with people in a caring profession. As people have become more concerned with the way mainstream medicine operates, the gentle practices of complementary medicine, with their emphasis on encouraging the body's own healing powers, have become more and more appealing.
There are numerous different options within the field of complementary medicine - from herbalist to homeopath, Reiki healer to Reflexologist - for those with the training and aptitude. For those looking for jobs in this field, the journals and websites of the national governing bodies are a good place to start when looking for work - be aware, however, that many of these fields have more than one governing body, so be sure to do your research.
Of course, many practitioners in this field are self-employed, so consider this when making decisions about which practice is right for you. Fortunately, many training courses include modules on setting up and running your own business, finding clients etc.
