Question:
What is the percentage of homeopathy used in the world in relation to the use of conventional medicine?
Homeopathy is growing in North America - I am wondering what the growth rate is like - what the percentage of use was perhaps 10 years ago verses use in the last 2 or 3 years.
Answers:
I would not compare the growth of any particular therapy with conventional medicine. Homeopathy has been popular in India, Germany and many other europian countries for ages. The best part of its popularity is the fact that there are no side effects in comparison to conventional medicines. Today, more and more people are becoming conscious of the side effects of conventional medicines and are resorting to other forms of treatment like acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, ayurveda, reiki, and many more.
Remember, in case of emergencies, conventional medicine works fast and best.
As far as I am concerned, all the therapies in the world are good in their own merit. Its just the delivery of result that matters. The lesser the side effects the better the medicine then be it homeopathy, or ayurveda or even conventional medicines.
