Homeopathy is an alternative medicine for the most common illnesses (angina, flu, rhino pharyngitis, gastro-enteritis, etc.), and is particularly recommended for holistic imbalances such as insomnia, digestive disorders and the impact of menopause.

Some health professionals report that, from the 12 CH (Hannemanian centesimal) dilution upwards, a homeopathic preparation theoretically no longer contains any molecules of the diluted strain. It could therefore not be active, unless it had a placebo effect. However, high-dilution homeopathic strains have proved their worth with regular homeopathic users. To this day, scientific research continues to determine the mechanism of action, and nothing has yet been scientifically proven.
