Homeopathy uses microdosed natural remedies that work on the principle of “like cures like,” or the law of similars. Exactly how homeopathy works retains an air of mystery, yet this complementary-healing modality is widely used around the world, especially in Europe and India, and has a small but growing body of scientific evidence that backs up its effectiveness. Homeopathy is gaining in popularity in the United States, with sales growing more than 10 percent a year, on average, since 2000, according to Nutrition Business Journal.
