This alternative approach to health is embraced on a mainstream scale
Implications - Naturopathy is a pseudo-scientific form of healthcare that until previously, was associated solely with hippies and those fully dedicated to naturalistic ways of life. Current consumers, however, are more attracted to this healing method, as large-company skepticism has them denouncing traditional medicine. This is a result of a heightened interest in a holistically healthy, more pure lifestyle.
