This includes the following types of treatment modalities: acupuncture  Ayurveda  biofeedback  diet-based therapies  energy healing  guided imagery  hypnosis  meditation massage therapy  kinesiology or movement therapies  natural products qi gong traditional healing yoga  holistic skin care or esthetics  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2014-15 Occupational Outlook Handbook, the holistic health, alternative medicine and wellness industry has increased substantially since 2002, and all signs point to continued growth in the popularity of CAM through 2022.   A large number of people are willing to pay for this kind of health care, since CAM is usually not paid by health insurance. This growing demand makes it an excellent time to begin a career as a holistic health practitioner.
