Article Abstract:

Homeopathy is an old alternative healing method that has grown into a $200- million market in the US. Invented by Samuel Hahnemann, the method worked on the Laws of Similars and Infinitesimals. Scientists claim that homeopathy is like the placebo which makes a body react positively to a substance.
