Top Myths About Homeopathy – Busted
🔴 Myth 1: Homeopathy is just placebo
✔ Fact: High-quality studies show mixed results, but homeopathy’s effect is not always explained by placebo alone. Many people experience relief, especially for chronic conditions. However, homeopathy should not replace emergency or life-saving treatments.
🔴 Myth 2: Homeopathic medicines act very slowly
✔ Fact: Not true.
For acute conditions like cold, fever, allergies, gastric upset, homeopathy can act quickly.
Chronic diseases naturally need more time.
🔴 Myth 3: Homeopathy has no side effects because it is “nothing”
✔ Fact: Remedies are safe when used correctly, but wrong self-medication may worsen symptoms or delay proper care. Always better to consult a trained homeopath.
🔴 Myth 4: Homeopathy works only for minor diseases
✔ Fact: Homeopathy is widely used for chronic issues like
allergies
migraines
skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis)
arthritis
thyroid imbalance
hormonal issues
respiratory problems
It supports overall healing, not only small ailments.
🔴 Myth 5: Homeopathy cannot be taken with allopathic medicines
✔ Fact: Homeopathic medicines can be taken safely with allopathic drugs because they act differently.
Doctors often recommend both together when needed.
🔴 Myth 6: Homeopathy requires strict food restrictions
✔ Fact: Only strong flavors right before/after the medicine (like raw onion, garlic, coffee, mint) may reduce its effect. Otherwise, no major restrictions.
