If You Are Thinking About Using Homeopathy

• Do not use homeopathy as a replacement for proven conventional care or to postpone seeing a doctor about a medical problem.
• Look for published research studies on homeopathy for the health condition you are interested in.
• If you are considering using homeopathy and decide to seek treatment from a homeopath, ask about the training and experience of the practitioner you are considering.
• Women who are pregnant or nursing, or people who are thinking of using homeopathy to treat a child, should consult their health care provider.
• Tell all your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of all you do to manage your health. This will ensure coordinated and safe care.
