I’ve known people who just thought it meant “natural” or “organic”



Confusing "herbal" and "homeopathic" shows the success of advertising by the alternative medicine industry to keep customers misinformed about what is in -- or in the case of homeopathy, what is not in the products they buy. The opposite of regulated medicines which need to be specific about what goes into them. Promoting homeopathy is promoting ignorance.
