Homeopathy or alternative medicine is sought after the western culture which is now being adopted world-wide. Pleasing as it may seem, as per AlterNet Org, it's actually been a long debate if these methods actually work.
Yvette d'Entremont, who has a bachelors' degree in theater and chemistry, and has a master's degree in forensic science made an experiment with homeopathic sleeping pills with a mission to debunk alternative medicine.
Though she made it clear that it's not the lack of efficiency she's most worried about, but the confusion it created in the market place.
My biggest concern with homeopathy is the labeling. I'm a scientist and science writer who wants consumers to understand what they're buying, but what do any of these homeopathy labels mean? "200C." "10x." "3C." "Humulus lupulus." "Arsenicum alb." "Natrum Muriaticum." What language are they even written in? Why do natural health advocates demand that products with GMOs be labeled but ignore that homeopathic products are labeled in another language and without clear denotations of the quantities of active ingredients? If you want further proof that this is true, pick up any homeopathic medication and try to decipher how many grams there are of just one active ingredient. Odds are that you will not be able to conjure a clear answer by simply reading the label.
Time then added that it is not as effective as it may seem. As per the website, medical experts from Australia conducted a study which was focused on alternative medicine known as "homeopathy" and they came into conclusion that it doesn't have enough medicine to conclude on whether it is effective or not.
The studies then added that it can either make an individual sick or in some cases can make the patient feel better. Which does not give a 100 percent assurance if the remedy does work or not as it is a hit or miss method.
