That's not to say that there isn't anacdotal evidence that it works in some cases for some people, but if you read the link below, homeopathy has "abused it's placebo privileges".
As Mrs D says, be aware. I would go further and say don't waste your money.

PS We even have homeopathy treatments available at some hospitals alongside conventional medicine in our National Health Service in Britain! It is indeed a powerful and persuasive lobby group.
Too late for me on this sore, as I already purchased the item. After reading the article it makes me feel a bit silly thinking this stuff would work. I just wonder why so many reviews were so positive.
Thank you!!
