Abstract

An analysis of 2148 consultations in a private general medical homeopathic practice in France was conducted in 12 periods of 7–10 days of study over four years. The results show that homeopathy is mainly used in mental, infectious and rheumatological disorders. It is suggested that homeopathy is a useful alternative in these illnesses, as it avoids the abuse of, and the adverse effects of, sedatives, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
