Hollywood Hot: Celebrities Who Love Natural Medicine

Oh come on . . . admit it. If it’s “hot” in Hollywood – that is, if all the celebs are doing it, it has to be good, right?

Well, not in every case. But in this situation – a resounding YES!

More and more celebrities are opening up about their preference for natural medicine . . .  which may have something to do with why the interest in natural remedies is at an all-time high. Couple the celebrity influence with the fact that many of these stars look incredible and seem to age more gracefully than others, and you can see why more would want to give natural medicine a try.

Here are just a few examples of Hollywood super-stars who “go alternative.”

10 Celebrities Who Love Natural Medicine

Suzanne Somers
Ms. Somers he made no secret of her use of natural medicine, for sure.  But she has also inspired others by beating breast cancer . . . opting to forgo chemotherapy in place of alternative treatment. And looking damn incredible through it all! Certainly the Thigh-Master isn’t the only thing that’s contributed to her success.

Kourtney Kardashian
Anyone who has watched the popular reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians (or any of the spin-off shows), knows that Kim’s older sister believes in natural health and eats an organic diet . . . often to the chagrin of her family and long-time boyfriend/baby daddy.

Richard Gere
This practicing Buddhist uses daily meditation to help keep his mental and physical health in check. It also seems to work wonders on his appearance, seeing as how he just appears to look better with each passing year. Oh, Richard Gere . . . be still my heart.

Olivia Newton-John
This is another icon from the 80’s who beat breast cancer and has attributed her recovery to the use of homeopathic remedies partnered with a more traditional medical treatment.

Christy Turlington
This supermodel not only believes in Ayurveda and the practice of yoga, but also encourages the masses! Turlington has released her own yoga videos and actually launched an Ayurveda skin care line.

Uma Thurman
A believer of gem therapy, this actress uses the power of gems for a positive effect on her mental wellbeing. OK, sounds a little “out there” – but who are we to judge! She looks amazing.

Woody Harrelson
Though not everyone agreed with his views on hemp and making it legal to grow, he has admitted to swapping marijuana for yoga to get the same kind of blissful high. But don’t worry, Woody. You can do no wrong in my book . . . so smoke it if you gotta!

Gwyneth Paltrow
This award-winning actress was talking about her organic, macrobiotic diet long before most of us even knew what that meant! She also made headlines when she showed up to a movie premiere with spots all over her back, which were the result of a natural procedure known as cupping.

Oprah Winfrey
We’ve watched her struggles with weight, as well as the practice of some drastic diets over the years. She finally seems to have come to terms with her weight by practicing meditation, self-awareness, and healthy eating.

Dr. Oz
The premise of Dr. Oz’s show makes his belief of combining natural health with conventional medicine quite clear. Every show provides us with different examples of mixing the two, and he makes no secret about his belief that natural remedies absolutely do work.
