Frequently Asked Questions About Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a 230-year-old system of medicine that uses ultra-dilute preparations of natural substances to stimulate the body's own healing response. It is based on the principle of "like cures like" — a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can, in tiny doses, cure similar symptoms in a sick person.

Over 500 clinical studies have been published on homeopathy. Some meta-analyses have found effects beyond placebo, others have not. The debate continues. What is not in dispute is the excellent safety profile of homeopathy and the high levels of patient satisfaction reported worldwide.
