1. People are 12x more likely to search for information online than talk to their doctor about natural remedies.
3. 89% of millennial parents have used natural remedies instead of pharmaceuticals for their children.
4. Melatonin, essential oils, and fish oil were millennials’ top three picks for natural remedies.
