Well no. Doctors are a much later invention, but the skills are shared, if not the sophisticated knowledge.

theres no denying the collective evidence of herbal/organic remedies well before the science broke them down into components.

thats why i dont discount it. medicine is what heals, not why it heals.
trial and error is the most brutal form of research, one learns lasing lessons quickly.

i cannot see the naturopath wrestling Covid, performing an appendectomy, or sorting prostate cancer, but theres a place in medicine for them.
