Many have dismissed homeopathy as no more than a placebo, but a review of recent research is challenging that notion.

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.
