HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy is a system of healing founded in Germany at the end of the 18th century. It is composed of two theories: (1) โ€œlike cures likeโ€ โ€“ the suggestion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in people who do not have the disease; and (2) โ€œlaw of minimum doseโ€ โ€“ the concept that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater the efficacy of the medication. Homeopathic remedies come from substances that are derived from plants, minerals or animals, many of which are considered toxic in their crude form. Serial dilutions and โ€œsuccussionโ€ โ€“ a process by which a solution is violently shaken a given number of times between dilutions โ€“ create the final product. Homeopathic remedies are often prepared as sugar pellets to be placed under the tongue, but they may also be formulated as ointments, gels, drops, or creams. The FDA regulates homeopathic remedies, but unlike traditional medications, it does not evaluate them for safety and effectiveness.

In dermatology, homeopathy is most often used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. In general, there is little evidence to support the effectiveness of homeopathic therapies for skin disease, and some evidence from controlled clinical studies suggest that homeopathy is actually ineffective for eczema.

While many homeopathic remedies are highly diluted, some products sold or labeled as homeopathic may not be diluted sufficiently and may still contain active ingredients. Like any drug or dietary supplement that contains active compounds, these homeopathic remedies may cause side effects (e.g. allergic reactions, intoxications) or drug interactions.
