What is Homeopathy ?
Before engaging in any complementary medical technique, you should be aware that many of these techniques have not been evaluated in scientific studies. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about whether practitioners are required to be professionally licensed. If you plan to visit a practitioner, it is recommended that you choose one who is licensed by a recognized national organization and who abides by the organization's standards. It is always best to speak with your primary health care provider before starting any new therapeutic technique.
Homeopathy attempts to stimulate the body to recover itself. For example, instead of trying to stop a cough by suppressing it, a homeopathic practitioner may give a remedy that could cause a cough in a healthy person. This is done according to the theory that "like cures like."

Summary
Homeopathy has been suggested for many conditions, but high-quality scientific research is lacking in this area. For many homeopathic remedies, safety and effectiveness remain unclear. Severe or chronic health conditions may require additional medical attention beyond homeopathy.
