We had a great discussion at our April meeting about homeopathy, kindly facilitated by Trish James and Annie Hirsch (many thanks to them both). The discussion included:
- the differences and similarities between homeopathy and other complementary therapies – we were particularly interested in the similarities between what homeopathy calls the “vital force” and what Chinese medicine calls “chi”
- seeing homeopathy as energy medicine
- how such a small amount of remedy can have an impact – and the answers coming from physics (particularly quantum physics) rather than chemistry and biology
- there have been some random clinical trials on homeopathic treatment – to read more about research and homeopathy see the Society of Homeopaths website
- how many famous people use homeopathy
