Traditional & Alternative Medicine

Homeopathy & Folk Medicine

Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine. Homeopathy is a pseudoscience – a belief that is incorrectly presented as scientific. It is not a plausible system of treatment, as its dogmas about how drugs, illness, the human body, liquids and solutions operate are contradicted by a wide range of discoveries across biology, psychology, physics and chemistry made in the two centuries since its invention. Folk medicine is traditionally used as a term to describe healing skills that are associated with folk methods and that do not form part of formal medical training.
