Abstract

Homoeopathy is a system of treating patients
using very low dose preparations according
to the principle: "like should be cured with
like". This paper summarises the research evidence
presented in a recent issue of Effective Health
Care on the effectiveness of homoeopathy.
Increasing numbers of patients are seeking
information on complementary medicines from
NHS health professionals. Results of a 1998 survey
of use and expenditure on complementary
medicine in England suggested that 28% of
respondents had either visited a complementary
therapist or had purchased an over the counter
herbal or homoeopathic remedy in the past year.
From this survey it was estimated that there
could be over 470 000 recent users of homoeopathic
remedies in England.
