The Level 4 lockdown due to COVID-19 during April and May 2020 in New Zealand (NZ) provided a unique opportunity to investigate if the use of natural supplements and remedies had changed in NZ due to the perceived threat of the pandemic. Participants were invited via social media posts to complete a short anonymous online survey during the 2-week window between the Level 4 and Level 3 lockdowns in May 2020. Of the 121 respondents who identified their gender, 98 were female, with just over one third of all respondents indicating their use of natural supplements had increased during lockdown in an effort to minimise the risk of falling ill with COVID-19. When supplements were taken, there was a wide perceived benefit that the supplements helped them in some way. Supplements were mainly purchased from supermarkets or pharmacies, with most people not telling their registered heath professional they were taking natural therapies or supplements. As the risk of community spread was relatively low compared to many other Western countries, this may have affected decisions people were making around taking perceived immune-boosting natural supplements.

Western herbalism has remained relatively stable in terms of materia medica and overarching practice approaches since its use by European ancients. Twenty first century herbalists’ workarounds could be summed up by the saying ‘old herbs, new tricks’, with scope of changes being mainly about herbal selection, availability, preparations, validation, extraction methods and dosages. Naturopathy, on the other hand, has undergone a type of recrafting in the 21st century, and a re-discovery of its original basis or identity. Naturopathy being defined by its treatment modalities (e.g. herbal medicine, nutrition, homoeopathy, counselling, massage etc) has moved on to a definition based on its holistic philosophy, and uniquely codified principles of practice. Although the same modalities are applied, re-defining of practice has shifted the emphasis back to the individual needs of people seeking help.

We all know that, other than a few outlandish practices, in general naturopathy and herbalism have a record of being low-risk when practised by appropriately qualified and experienced practitioners. It lays testament to one of the main characteristics of our practices, a specialised expertise about safe and effective natural medicine. It isn’t limited to the prescription of natural medicines (nutraceuticals and herbs), it also extends to other natural interventions and safe, person-centred and effective communication, which is more than just imparting information about high-risk health behaviours. We are trained in personal, sensitive and ethical communication that fosters autonomy and self-determination. These things together, adapted to individual needs, define our role. Given our clinical skills, naturopaths and herbalists are positioned alongside other health practitioners providing service, contributing to health, and meeting expressed public desires and health needs. It is somewhat perplexing that health policy and guidelines often dismiss our role and generally overlook our profession.
