naturopathy
Définition
- A form of herbal medicine, flourishing in nineteenth-century America in frontier conditions where self-treatment was the only option for healthcare. Recent trends indicating a large rise in herbal self-treatment in the United States and other Western countries are taken as indicative of dissatisfaction with allopathic medicine and the decline of medical dominance (Baer, H. (1992) ‘The potential rejuvenation of American naturopathy as a consequence of the holistic health movement’, Medical Anthropology, 13: 369–83) (complementary/alternative medicine; homeopathy).
