Homeopathy is controversial. Public figures from  politicians to comedians  frequently make strong statements against homeopathy, but very few people have actually had the chance to read the facts about homeopathy research for themselves. Here we answer the most commonly asked questions about homeopathy, based on the best scientific evidence available.    

There are critics who claim that homeopathy is ‘pseudoscience’ and only non-scientists are interested in the subject. In fact, scientists in highly respected universities, research institutions and hospitals around the world are carrying out research into homeopathy using the same research techniques as those used to investigate conventional medical treatments.

Critics of homeopathy point to the fact that homeopathic medicines are so highly diluted that there is ‘nothing in them’. This comes from the fact that the liquids used to make some homeopathic medicines are diluted beyond the threshold known as Avogadros number […]

The idea that a substance can be damaging in large amounts, but beneficial in small amounts is not new to science, in […]

Overall the homeopathy trials were found to be of higher quality than the conventional trials they were compared to.1 Researchers compared 110 homeopathy trials and 110 matched […]
