Homeopathy is a form of treatment founded on principles very different from western medicine. One of the primary principles is that the body has significant powers to heal itself. Homeopathic remedies are intended to stimulate these natural forces of recovery. Homeopathy was developed in the 1800s and is a popular form of treatment worldwide. Homeopathic remedies are available in pillules, drops, creams, and gels. Homeopathic remedies are very dilute formulations of the active ingredients. One of the more controversial principles of homeopathy is the principle that dilution increases the effect of the remedy. Because they do not contain powerful chemicals, homeopathic remedies typically have very few side effects or drug interactions.

Following are a few of the more popular homeopathic remedies:

Aconite is used for conditions with sudden, violent and brief symptoms. It is used at early signs of a cold. It is also used for anxiety, panic, fear, and restlessness.
