Best Answer

In the United States, each state sets its own laws in respect to alternative medicine and those laws can vary dramatically from state to state. In Tennessee, for example, naturopathy is illegal while in the neighboring state of Arkansas, it is not addressed legally. In states like California, though, properly-educated naturopaths are licensed and have the same (or nearly the same) status as mainstream physicians. For herbs, nutritional supplements and alternative medical devises sold across state lines, the FDA has jurisdiction, too.
