Thinking about becoming a Healer?

 

There are many fields of alternative medicine available for study in traditional college or institute settings, as well as in online degree programs.

The promising field has endless possibilities, and if you are interested in helping people through a rewarding field, this might be the ideal career choice. Consider some of the fundamentals of alternative and complementary medicine, various approaches, and types of degrees you can earn to see if this is the right path.

Acupuncture: It is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a whole medical system developed in China. Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. The report from a Consensus Development Conference on Acupuncture held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1997 stated that acupuncture is being "widely" practiced—by thousands of physicians, dentists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners—for relief or prevention of pain and for various other health conditions.

Homeopathy: Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself by giving very small doses of highly diluted substances. There are currently no uniform licensing or professional standards for the practice of homeopathy in the United States; the licensing of homeopaths varies from state to state. Usually, a homeopathic practitioner is licensed in a medical profession, such as conventional or osteopathic medicine.more on Homeopathy)

Massage: The term "massage therapy" encompasses many different techniques. In general, therapists press, rub, and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) certifies practitioners who pass a national examination. Increasingly, states that license massage therapists require them to have a minimum of 500 hours of training at an accredited institution, pass the NCBTMB exam, meet specific continuing education requirements, and carry malpractice insurance.

Naturopathy: Naturopathy is based on the practice of applying the simple laws of nature to cure diseases. Practitioners of naturopathy prefer to use treatment approaches that they consider to be the most natural and least invasive, instead of using drugs and more invasive procedures. Naturopathic physicians are educated and trained in a 4-year, graduate-level program at one of the four U.S. naturopathic medical schools accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education. Admission requirements include a bachelor's degree and standard premedical courses. (more on Naturopathy)
