• Findings from Swiss government’s report - “Health Technology Assessment” on homeopathic medicine are as below:
  1. The report cited 29 studies in “Upper Respiratory Tract Infections/Allergic Reactions,” of which 24 studies found a positive result in favour of homeopathy.
  2. 6 out of 7 controlled studies that compared homeopathic treatment with conventional medical treatment showed that homeopathy to be more effective than conventional medical interventions (the one other trial found homeopathic treatment to be equivalent to conventional medical treatment)
  3. All of these results from homeopathic treatment came without the side-effects common to conventional drug treatment.
  4. In evaluating only the randomized placebo controlled trials, 12 out of 16 studies showed a positive result in favour of homeopathy.
• The number of patients that achieved glycaemic control under the combination of a hypoglycaemic drug along with homeopathic treatment was nearly double (97 per cent) than that of patients on the conventional hypoglycaemic drug alone (47 per cent) [Clinical Trial conducted in Athens]
• 63 per cent patients on homeopathy had increased sleep time, reduced interruptions during sleep, and reduced nervousness without any side-effects [Two double-blind studies compared the Action of Quietude, A Homeopathic Preparation popular in France, with Diazepam (Valium) on patients with Sleeplessness]

Homeopathy can be used as supportive treatment along with conventional medicine in serious infections.

During your first consultation with our doctors, an assessment will be done to diagnose what you are suffering from, the stage of your illness and the scope of homeopathy in treating it.

Our doctors will give you realistic feedback over the possible benefits you will get from homeopathy and the duration of your treatment. For any chronic complaint that you are suffering from for over a few years, the homeopathic treatment might take some time to provide permanent relief, but symptomatic relief can be experienced as early as four to six weeks.
