Homeopathy Unveiled: 10 Surprising Facts vs. Myths That Will Change Your Perspective
1. Fact: Homeopathy Treats the Whole Person
In homeopathy, it doesn't focus on a cure in general; it heals the whole person rather than the illness, thus, a holistic instead of a narrow cure in treating a particular symptom.

2. Myth: Homeopathy Is Only Placebo
By far, the most common argument made against homeopathy is the placebic effect. Clinical research counters this with evidence that homeopathy actually yields real, measurable positive changes for many conditions.
