Homeopathy

Homeopathy uses remedies diluted so far that usually no molecules of the original substance are left. Parents on Mumsnet sometimes say it “completely cured” a child’s eczema; one such account involved a GP who was also a homeopath and pointed to the former NHS homeopathic hospital in Glasgow (evidence: anecdotal). The main harm for toddlers is indirect: using it can delay effective treatment while the skin stays inflamed or becomes infected.
