Evaluation of Confidence in Homeopathic Therapies and Exploration of Concerns Regarding Allopathic Medicine among Homeopathic Users. A Population Based Study from Karachi

Homeopathic medicine is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself [1]. Homeopathy was founded in the late 1700s in Germany and has been widely practiced throughout Europe and south Asia. In some countries, there are no specific legal regulations concerning the use of homeopathy, while in others, licenses or degrees in conventional medicine from accredited universities are required. In the US the percentage of patient gaining homeopathic treatment has increased four times from 1991 to 1997 [2].
