Abstract:
Naturopathy, as a form of alternative medicine, holds a significant place in the healthcare landscape of India. The country has a long-standing tradition of holistic healing systems, and naturopathy has gained recognition. The integration of naturopathy into the Indian healthcare system has gained attention in recent years, due to its potential to provide holistic and natural approaches to healthcare. At this juncture, it is important to identify the opportunities that arise from integrating naturopathy into the Indian healthcare system, including its potential to provide cost-effective and preventive healthcare solutions, promote patient empowerment, and contribute to a more holistic and patient-centered approach. This paper aims to explore the opportunities, challenges, and policy implications associated with the integration of naturopathy in the Indian healthcare system, such as the need for standardized education and training, regulation of naturopathy practices, and potential conflicts with existing healthcare systems. This research will shed light on the existing status of Naturopathy in India while assessing the current policy landscape and identifying areas where policy reforms and guidelines are needed to facilitate the seamless integration of naturopathy within the larger healthcare framework. The findings of this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the opportunities, challenges, and policy implications of integrating naturopathy into the Indian healthcare system. The insights gained from this study will inform policymakers, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders involved in shaping healthcare policies and practices. Ultimately, the research aims to pave the way for a more integrated, inclusive, and patient-centric healthcare system in India.
