No, homeopathy doesn't work. But what he recommended isn't homeopathy, just a rudimentary treatment. Homeopathy is like when they put essence of hogwash in a bottle and then dilute it down to where it's barely in evidence. The more diluted, the better (according to homeopaths). Homeopathy is woo, just like cupping, acupuncture, leeches, and chiropractic.

No.

Only to the extent that you truly believe it will, if any. Even placebos produce some positive results when the subjects expected good results. The brain is a powerful healer. BUT, what he recommended and you did is a long-used HOME REMEDY, not homeopathy! Huge difference. Spend some time doing Google searches on these things. [homeremediesforlife.com]

According to this article homeopathy acts as a placebo and could sometimes be more dangerous than the symptoms it is used to treat.

It works as well as you believe it will.

it is nonsense.

Exactly caleb, and I agree, tea tree and pennyroyal can be toxic and cause more problems, thankfully we live in an age where the local witch doctor isnt in control of our health.

I believe it does. I practice it a lot.

OK,
homeopathy is pure quackery.
Luckily the paste isn't homeopathy.
Ulcers remain because of acid loving bacteria, so a good dose of a strong alkali will fix it. Have been using bi carb for ulcers for 50 years, mine are usually gone in 12 hours, in fact had on last night, hit it with dry bicarb and gone this morning.

And i will say ever since ive been ingesting probiotics ive gone from going to the er once a week to i havent been in a year, like night and day, probiotics did wonders for my stomach issues

The baking soda, a good old-fashioned use-it-for-everything item, is what worked!

I never knew baking soda was homeopathic but there you go - other uses for it given you bow have a tub in the post below

No. The baking soda paste works on a different principle.

Baking soda has its therapeutic uses, but strictly speaking it is not homeopathy.

Nobody has been able to propose any plausible mechanism how real homeopathy (ultra-dilute solutions of disease-causing substances) might work. It seems most likely to me the homepathy is a harmless waste of resources that has a placebo effect. And homeopathic practitioners tend on average to be nicer people than MDs, so the placebo effect is accentuated.

The British royal family is said to be devoted followers of homeopathic practitioners. And they live into their 90s, so perhaps in medicine doing nothing gracefully can be better than doing something: "First do no harm".

For some it does. For others questionable

Placebo effect

If it works for you great sometimes the act of doing something will give a feeling of improvement whether it does or not

The term homeopathy isnt the best way to descripe natural healing, ive always thought it meant home remedies which yes you do this in your home, but it takes going to an herbal shop to aquire what u need.

I know for sure natural herbs and remedies most certainly work, thats where western medicine comes from, all medication is at its root comes from something natural, ive healed many of my gerd issues with homeopathy, but you gotta know what your doing and theres tons of info on it out there, take the time to research it and you can become your own doc.

No better than a placebo, it has been tested all over the world many, many times - and always fails to show consistent results under properly controlled testing. The pharmaceutical companies are gigantic monsters, and they test everything, any "medicine" that is as good or better than their drugs? They would patent it, market it and sue the hell out of anybody still selling it.

Science, humanity, has lots to learn - but we are really good at some things. We can look right at atoms, and even measure the subatomic particles they are made out of. And the idea of water gaining a "memory" from anything interacting with it? Absolute bullshit.

• Final note: I made a homeopathic uranium preparation! I went completely by the book for making homeopathic medicine "correctly". I did it for fun, and to ridicule and mock beLIEvers in homeopathy. I used real uranium ore - here is a link to my page: [sites.google.com]
