Paramedicalization refers to the trend of people setting more and more value on alternative medicine and different beliefs about wealth and health, which are not authorized by medical science. The process runs concurrently with medicalization.

The concept of paramedicalization was first presented in 1995 by Finnish sociologists in the Finnish Journal of social medicine
