Kann ich mich nach einer Phytotherapie Ausbildung selbständig machen?
Can I become self-employed after phytotherapy training?
Self-employment after extensive phytotherapy training as a phytotherapist is possible, but not profitable in all cases. It should be noted that method number 145 (phythotherapy, western) can only be registered with the EMR by doctors or in combination with other method groups, such as Ayurveda (method no. 24) including Ayurvedic remedies (method no. 26) or naturopathic practices NHP naturopaths (method no. 131), or Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM (method no. 185) including Tibetan Medicine (method no. 189) or Phytotherapy TCM (method no. 14). If you have not registered any of these methods or are not a qualified doctor, you may find it difficult to generate and retain patients, as you will not be able to bill through the supplementary health insurance schemes. An EMR-recognized training or ASCA-recognized training in the field of alternative medicine or alternative naturopathy is therefore an important criterion for successful self-employment as a therapist.
