My Italian is rusty, and I don't have a dictionary here, but if I have to guess, then I suppose that it means self-curing. This may be related to therapy (terapia), but still, why does it show up in the results even though the word doesn't appear there? Does the Wikipedia search engine have

I think it's related to the other search result (Fiori di Bach): … necessarie per effettuare [[diagnosi|autodiagnosi]] e [[terapia|autopratica]]. That article links to the article Terapia, but the link text is autopratica, so, presumably, the search engine takes this to mean that terapia and
