Is Homeopathy Just a Placebo?
It's one of the questions homeopath Abby Beale hears most often, and her own path into homeopathy started with a situation where she had no idea what to expect.
Her toddler had been through seven or eight rounds of antibiotics for the same ear infection, and the next step was ear tubes. Then her mother suggested something Abby had never heard of, and she ended up in a 90-minute appointment full of questions that seemed to have nothing to do with ear infections.
Abby is a homeopath and lead author of Homeopathy Primer: Getting Started with Homeopathy. In this conversation, she explains how homeopathy works, why two people with the same symptoms might need different remedies, what belongs in a beginner's home kit, and a piece of American medical history most people have never heard.
