This is an exciting time to be a naturopathic doctor. Naturopathic medicine and yoga are growing professions with demand for BNYS ever on the rise. Many people are beginning to appreciate the benefits of using natural healing therapies and are exploring the advantages of integrative medicine. In fact, a 2008 study by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) found 38 percent of adults and 12 percent of children in the U.S. use some form of alternative medicine. People are realizing that a natural approach to healing works. Consequently, more career opportunities in natural medicine exist than ever before, more insurance companies are offering benefits for natural therapies, and many businesses are now instituting wellness programs for their employees.
