Many have dismissed homeopathy as no more than a placebo, but a review of recent research is challenging that notion. Researchers looked at the effectiveness of homeopathy against placebos, or dummy pills, and found that those given homeopathic remedies were almost twice as likely to improve than those given placebos. The review looked at 32 trials that covered more than 20 medical conditions. It just goes to show that just because the scientific community can’t prove the benefits of a remedy, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t effective.
