In ancient times, the answer to any ailment would be naturopathic. From the early Native American tribes in the west, to the Chinese practitioners in the east, you could be cured with a range of herbs and natural remedies. Today, however, upon hearing a sneeze you would be rushed away to a large corporate facility and given a variety of drugs, scoffing at the idea of naturopathy as an African witchdoctor comes to mind. The question is, then, when did this change occur, and why? Why have people stopped this ancient tradition in favour of newer facilities? This is the question that I am intending to answer with my research paper, focusing on the perception of these professions in modern day society.
