Is homeopathy the same as herbal medicine or naturopathy?

Some people use these terms interchangeably but they do not mean the same thing. Homeopathy does use remedies made from substances in nature as does an herbalist.  While a naturopath may use homeopathic remedies, it is a separate and distinct modality.

Is homeopathy safe? Does it have side effects?

Homeopathy practiced by its principles is safe and has no side-effects. For this reason it is important to find a reliable practitioner with appropriate training.

Can I continue my regular medication alongside with homeopathy?

Yes. Homeopathic remedies can be used alongside mainstream medicine.

Is homeopathy merely psychological?

If you think that you have to “believe in” homeopathy for it to work, it is important to know that it is not a placebo effect. Children, infants, animals and skeptical adults have all responded to homeopathic remedies.

Additionally, millions of people across the world use and rely on homeopathic remedies. There is a rapidly growing number of conventional medical doctors using homeopathic medicines, especially in Europe and Asia.
