Homeopathic remedies are almost completely safe if they are used correctly. As with any other kind of substance—medicinal or not—if we use them incorrectly, they can cause discomfort or even harm. This is why it is important to consult with an experienced practitioner who has been trained to understand what the correct remedy, potency and dosage are for each person’s unique state. When used properly according to the principles of homeopathy, homeopathic remedies are remarkably safe. There are no deaths due to properly used homeopathic medicines in the United States recorded in the major medical online databases. Contrast this with the 200,000 calls which Poison Centers receive each year about aspirin and acetaminophen, sold most commonly as TylenolR.
