If you intend to become a Complementary Therapist, you may need accreditation depending on where you intend to work and which specialty you are interested in. You would be wise to check with your college or regulatory authority for requirements.

With the recent resurgence of interest in alternative medicine and complementary therapies, prospects should be good. Many people are turning their backs on traditional medicine in light of fears over synthetic pharmaceuticals and side effects. Some people prefer to try alternatives such as oriental medicine, herbology, reiki, Indian head massage, crystal therapy, reflexology, massage, acupuncture, homeopathy, hypnosis, or yoga. Many of these disciplines have been practiced for thousands of years to relieve suffering and help treat and cure diseases.

Today's modern medicines are based on simple herbal remedies and plant extracts which indigenous peoples have been using for centuries. For example, the basis of many headache preparations used today contain salicylic acid as the main active ingredient. This pain relieving chemical is present in willow bark; evidence exists of ancient tribes applying strips of the bark to their foreheads to relieve headaches.

Alternative therapies are now finding a place alongside traditional western medicine. The new generation of medical doctors has realized that there is some benefit in offering these alternative treatments. Many clinics now offer a choice of treatment to patients. Job opportunities may be available to you on a part-time basis in these types of clinics as well as the traditional working practice of self-employment.
