Does it work?
Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine that has been used for over 200 years which works on the principle of treating like with like, with the active ingredient diluted heavily in water.
The ability for the body to heal itself is one of the principles that underpins traditional homeopathic prescribing. Homeopathy is based on reactions and observation of these reactions.
The homeopath will ask you about your health in some detail: how and when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse. Also about your medical history, temperament, current life situation and so on, so as to build up an understanding of how your system is out of balance.

Homeopathy in Healthcare – Effectiveness, Appropriateness, Safety, Costs
An HTA report on homeopathy as part of the Swiss Complementary Medicine Evaluation Programme.
This volume includes the full Health Technology Assessment (HTA) report on effectiveness, appropriateness, safety and costs of homoeopathy in health care.
The report was commissioned by the Swiss health authorities to inform decision-making on the further inclusion of homoeopathy in the list of services covered by statutory health insurance. Other studies carried out as part of the Swiss Complementary Medicine Evaluation Programme (PEK) caused a massive stir due to their schematic and exclusively quantitative (negative-)outcomes for homoeopathy.
The present report, in contrast, offers a differentiated evaluation of the practice of homoeopathy in health care. It confirms homoeopathy as a valuable addition to the conventional medical landscape – a status it has been holding for a long time in practical health care.
