Abstract

Homeopathy developed about 200 years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann and has become one of the most common complementary and alternative medicine procedures performed to treat cancer in the United States and Europe. Homoeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like”, highly diluted substance is used to treat patients. Homeopathy stimulates body's self-healing ability. Homoeopathy is widely used as palliative and curative method to treat the patient suffering from cancer. Homoeopathic treatment improves the quality of life, survival time and presenting complaints of the patients. Still, there is a need for more evidence to demonstrate anti tumor or antimetastatic potential in controlled clinical trials.[1]
