Traditional Chinese medicine includes various so-called naturopathic methods and forms of therapy such as acupuncture, tui na massage, herbal medicine and cupping. And although Western naturopathy also works with the healing power of plants and herbs, Eastern healing methods are sometimes considered dubious. However, more and more people are turning to alternative and naturopathic methods because they hope they will provide a gentle and natural supplement to the methods of conventional medicine and rely on thousands of years of experience. If you are considering training in naturopathy and opening your own practice, you should be sure that you have a vocation for naturopathy.
In addition to specialist knowledge, a successful career in naturopathy also requires a certain aptitude for dealing with people and their health problems.
