It all comes down to money. A lot of natural remedies are not "scientifically proven" because there is no funding from anyone to conduct the independent tests. You can hate all you want, but I would rather go the natural route with respect to acne, stress, blood pressure, etc, than simply taking a pill that causes other side effects while masking the underlying issue.
Just like western medicine drugs, it doesn't work for everyone, nor does everyone suffer from the same side effects. There is enough satisfied patients for homeopathic doctors to make a decent living, and for it to be recognized by many extended health insurers.
You can say it hasn't worked for you, but you cannot generalize and say it doesn't work, period. Have you even tried any alternative medicine?

if you wanna believe in what is inherently witchcraft, thats fine by me...there's a sucker born every minute. it just seems like you have almost 0 understanding of basic physiology, biology, economics and chemistry
literally 99% of "western" medicine (stupid fucking term btw) is just synthetic compounds derived from naturally occuring substances. for example...tylenol etc
as for the side effects, a medicine is formulated to treat maybe millions of people, all of which have idiosyncratic conditions and physiology. you can have a side effect to literally anything you consume
naturopaths "work" in the sense that they inherently exploit the power of our own minds (via the placebo effect) to "treat" illnesses
