The hippies were almost rebellious. They wanted to be different and live they're life freely. They enjoyed almost anything that caused them pleasure which was different from the normal culture of the day. They went against pretty much everything that was thought as proper. Which included home remedies and more.

Contrary to the answer above the hippie movement was very peaceful and destructive was not a characteristic. Some dramatic events did occur like Kent State but Woodstock is still the record holder for the largest peaceful gathering.

Who were the leaders of the hippie movement?
The Hippie Movement started in San Francisco, California and spread across most of the US during the late 60s and early 70s. Unlike the Beatniks, there were no real leaders of the Hippie Movement. The Beatniks were basically an intellectual movement that rejected the norms of society. The Hippies simply preferred an alternate lifestyle from the mainstream and had radical beliefs dealing with love, drug usage, war, and lifestyle. Most were not political except in opposing actions of the government they dissagreed with. Hippies came from all different backgrounds but all were young and most came from wealthy families. Some rejected their parent’s lifestyle while others were simply outcasts of society and could only fit in with the Hippie population. Timothy Leary became the spokesman for the Hippies concerning drug usage. He favored the use of LSD and his famous admonition to the youth of America was “tune in, turn on, and drop out.” Bob Dylan became the major symbol and spokesman of Hippie culture as well as other singers, like Janis Joplin.
