    Perhaps you are confused that two things are called homeopathy?

    Homeopathy is a medical belief system. Homeopathic medicines originated from this. But other (unregulated) medicines wanted to use this, too. That’s how these medicines can be labelled like this, but this labeling is not restricted to the homeopathic system, and is used by ANYONE that doesn’t want to be regulated the same way.

    Homeopathic medicine is unlikely to help you because it is unregulated. If there were studies that showed effectiveness and safety, they wouldn’t hide behind the homeopathic label. That doesn’t mean that they don’t do anything, because they are allowed to contain active ingredients.

    Please just read about on the FDA’s website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/homeopathic-products
