On the average age of a practitioner, this is across the board with all natural therapies. Recently published in journal of Australian Traditional Medicine Society. Approx 60% of practitioners are over 46; 8% are younger than 35.

Nobody leaves school wanting to train as a natural therapist, homeopathy or otherwise. One of the main reasons being lack of financial security.

Without government support, the general population just doesn't believe alternatives to the mainstream medical model are viable. Each individual has to experience first hand how the system fails them before being open to something else. Only then do they train to be a therapist!

I have to remember that is what happened to me! 30 years on I sometimes forget there was a different normal.
