What is a "heilpraktiker" in Germany?
Question:
Answers:
I assume you live in Germany? Heilpraktiker is a designation for health care professionals who do not have Doctor title. They work independantly from Medical Doctors, and mostly to herbal treatments, massages, chiropractic, and other types of alternative medicine. Your Dentist probably has a side business doing something along those lines. He may advise on some natural ways to decrease tooth pain, for instance.
natural herbalist very common in Germany not a Dr. Germany has been on the cutting edge of using natural herbs, and health and healing for hundreds of years, in the states many use acupunture, chiropractors and herbs rather than precriptions from the Dr. my mother in law is in her late 70's and german and is in the best of health, walks alot, sees her massage therapist, chiropractor and accupuncturist and takes her herbs
Not sure what "Zahnarzt" is. Und is and. Heilpraktiker is "health practitioner", I believe.
Heilpraktiker is not a protected title, meaning that anyone can use that title even without having an education in the health field.
