Abstract: | 1. Consumers who elect to use natural products are electing to do more than simply use a product. Their choice is an act of self-empowerment. 2. Education is necessary because these products most often are not being obtained in a professional, consultative setting but rather in chain discount department stores and supermarkets. 3. If consumers choose to address their health concerns using a natural-based treatment plan, consultation with a health care practitioner who shares this shift in perspective and who follows the literature is important. 4. A paradigm shift could be on the health care horizon, which when complete would make herbs and other natural products part of mainstream health care practice. |
