Homeopathic treatment is a form of alternative medicine that originated in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principles of "like cures like" and the "law of minimum dose." Homeopathy is founded on the idea that substances that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can be used in highly diluted forms to treat similar symptoms in a sick person.

Key principles of homeopathy include:

Like cures like: The fundamental concept is that a substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a person who is unwell. For example, if a substance causes fever in a healthy person, it might be used in a highly diluted form to treat someone with a fever.

Law of minimum dose: Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process of serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). The more a substance is diluted, the more potent it is believed to become. This is in contrast to conventional medicine, where higher doses are often associated with increased efficacy.

Individualized treatment: Homeopathic practitioners consider the overall symptoms and unique characteristics of each individual when selecting a remedy. The goal is to find a remedy that matches the person's specific symptom picture and constitutional type.

Steroids are synthetic derivatives of hormones that the human body naturally produces.

Steroids are 2 types :

Anabolic steroids

Cortico steroids

Homoeopathic medicines are prepared from disease pathological secretions or excretions (nosodes) or from healthy animal tissues and secretions (sarcodes).

These medicines are prepared following the process of dynamization. Process of dynamization reduces all side effects,

hence all homoeopathic medicine has no contraindication.

There are instances where patients give homoeopathic medicine for testing presence of steroid. As a routine practice laboratories carry out testing by way of calorimetric method using Tetrazolium Blue Salt which gives false positive results. The only authentic test for steroids is Liebermann Buchard test or Thin Layer Chromatography test or UV absorption test.

It is very essential for the homoeopathic practitioners, pharmacies and patients to know that before they accept the claim that the tested medicine contains steroid, they should find out the procedure of the test as false allegation against anyone is not only unfair but also unjustly. Above all there are only FDA approved laboratories who may be approached for any test of homoeopathic medicine samples rather than any and every laboratory who does not have sophisticated and expensive equipment to carry out TLC or UV test.

Homoeopathy is safe and effective for all age group in the hands of trained and qualified homoeopathic practitioners. Homoeopathic medicines manufactured by GMP certified (Schedule M-1) manufacturers are reliable.

Homeopathic medicines can be given to babies from 21 days old. However never give dilutions (raw medicine) or globules directly to babies. All medicines should be diluted by mixing with water. Always consult with doctor before giving any medicine to babies.

Homeopathy treatment responds slowly

Homeopathic medicines respond differently for individuals & depends on condition of the patient. Given the right dose & right medicine it works fast. However, for chronic cases it takes time to heal. At times change of medicine is necessary for cure.

Homeopathy increases pain or disease intensity before reducing it

This is a complete misconception. It depends on patient’s ability to take rest, less aggravate the injury.

Lack of general awareness of homeopathic treatment mechanisms

Patient needs to avoid self-medication or take suggested medicines from friends & relatives. Too many medicines or incorrect doses of medicines does not yield any good result. Correct procedure of taking medicine should be strictly followed. Patient should take consultation only from qualified DOCTORS.

Homeopathic treatment needs belief & faith

Homeopathy is a form of medical treatment, belief & faith has no place in it. However, patience & treatment follow-ups are required specially in case of chronic cases to get satisfactory results.

Homeopathy is age old while allopathy is modern science

General public lack the knowledge of modern medicines in homeopathy. Homeopathy medicines have evolved over time, multinational companies have invested huge amounts for research. Lots of new medicines, drug combinations have been invented which is helping in much better treatment.

Surgery is neither allopathy nor homeopathy nor ayurvedic. Post surgical cases can be treated in homeopathy.

If Allopathy which is considered modern science is 100% successful then people will be immortal / no death. No treatment can do all magic, all types of treatment got strengths & weaknesses.

Lack of unified protocols

Lack of unified prescription methods

Lack of progress information sharing mechanism

Lack of treatment success proper documentation

Public perception and acceptance of homeopathy have been influenced by various factors, including scientific debates, policy changes, and evolving trends in healthcare. Here are some current trends in India:
Homeopathy is integrated into conventional medical practice, particularly in countries where it is officially recognized and regulated. Integrative medicine approaches may incorporate homeopathy alongside other complementary and alternative therapies, with the aim of providing holistic patient care. 
Repeated clinical experience and human trial has placed homoeopathy within the society as a choice of treatment. 
As many scientific society said that homoeopathy medicine is nothing but a placebo, it has no side effect. So many non-believers has tried homeopathy as a treatment where allopathy has not able to cure disease and there homoeopathy has done miracle.
Even many people has started to take treatment in many serious disease like cancer, hemiparesis after cva, nephrotic syndrome.
Many doctors has treating life style disorder like diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension with homoeopathic medicine.
