Homeopathy has been with us for more than 200 years. During this time, it has
come in and out of fashion, but finally it seems to have conquered the world. Today,
homeopathy is not just popular in Europe, where it originated, it is also used widely
in the USA, India, South America, and many other parts of the world. Millions of
patients and consumers swear by homeopathy and employ its remedies on a daily
basis.
Yet, despite this impressive success, homeopathy has remained one of the most
controversial and divisive subjects in all of health care. Some people seem to believe
in it with a quasi-religious fervour, while others loath it with a similarly deeplyfelt
passion. What is worse, the exchanges between the two camps are frequently
emotional and less than tolerant. In this climate, it is far from easy for consumers to
find simple, factual, and reliable material on this subject.
