Abstract : Naturopathy therapy is a holistic idea of health that not only helps to prevent illness but also cure the disease. According to the case study, a qualified medical practitioner looks for serious ailments to be prevented and seeks Naturopathy not as an alternative to allopathic treatment but as an adjunct to it. The medical practitioners provided great insight through interviews and surveys. The research examined the perspectives of medical practitioners on the gains and drawbacks of naturopathy therapy, as well as the type of diseases for which it can be useful. Moreover, the challenges posed by using naturopathy therapy in mainstream disease management were also examined. As a result of this study, the naturopathy therapy can be practiced along with the conventional medical therapies which will improve the quality of care for the patients.

Keywords : Perception Analysis, Naturopathy Therapy, Medical Practitioners.
