Based on this, the homeopath will decide on the course of treatment, which often takes the form of homeopathic remedies given as a pill, capsule or tincture solution. Your homeopath may recommend that you attend one or more follow-up appointments so the remedy's effects on your health can be assessed. Homeopathy is used for an extremely wide range of health conditions. Many practitioners believe it can help with any condition. There's no good-quality evidence that homeopathy is an effective treatment for these or any other health conditions.
Some practitioners also claim homeopathy can prevent malaria or other diseases. There's no evidence to support this, and no scientifically plausible way that homeopathy can prevent diseases. There's no legal regulation of homeopathic practitioners in the UK.
This means that anyone can practise as a homeopath, even if they have no qualifications or experience. Voluntary regulation aims to protect patient safety, but it doesn't mean there's scientific evidence that a treatment is effective. A number of professional associations can help you find a homeopath who will practise the treatment in a way that's acceptable to you. The Society of Homeopaths and the Federation of Holistic Therapists both have a register of homeopathy practitioners, which you can search to find a practitioner near you.
These registers are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. Homeopathic remedies are generally safe, and the risk of a serious adverse side effect arising from taking these remedies is thought to be small. Some homeopathic remedies may contain substances that aren't safe or interfere with the action of other medicines. You should talk to your GP before stopping any treatment prescribed by a doctor, or avoiding procedures such as vaccination, in favour of homeopathy.
In the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee said there's no evidence that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition.
There's no evidence behind the idea that substances that cause certain symptoms can also help treat them.

Limitations: A single evaluator evaluated most articles, but the high concordance obtained during the inter-rater evaluation suggests that the assessments were consistent.
In addition, the small spectrum of journals limits generalizability. Finally, there could be a difference between what was reported and what was performed. Conclusions: This study emphasizes that authors use the label ;intention-to-treat' quite differently. The most common use refers to the analysis of all available subjects as randomized regardless of the missing data aspect.
