The Non Conventional Medicines have a greater social impact and the demand for such treatments of more than 10 million Italian citizens (male and female) of all ages and social classes and of thousands of Italian families reveals an interest proving that there is a trend reversal, involving also other sectors of the medical and scientific world, which shifts the focus from the symptom to an idea of more general and comprehensive well-being of the person. Over the last few years the scientific debate on Non Conventional Medicines and their integration with the academic or dominant medicine in our western society has favored and legitimated an increase in the demand and has activated a cultural transformation process involving the life styles. The focus is therefore shifted to the self-healing capacities, to the reawakening of the individual potentialities, which support and amplify the benefits of the treatments and the citizens start pretending to be accurately informed in order to choose freely their own health program.
非传统药物具有更大的社会影响力，超过 1000 万意大利公民（男女）的各种年龄和社会阶层以及成千上万的意大利家庭对这些治疗方法的需求表明，人们的兴趣正在发生转变，这也涉及到医疗和科学界的其他领域，将重点从症状转移到更普遍和全面的个人福祉的概念上。在过去的几年中，关于非传统药物及其与我们西方社会中的学术或主流医学相结合的科学辩论，促进并使需求增加合法化，并激活了涉及生活方式的文化转变过程。因此，重点转向自我疗愈能力，重新唤醒个人潜力，从而支持和放大治疗的益处，公民开始希望准确地了解信息，以便能够自由选择自己的健康计划。
