Yes, homeopathy: Homeopathy can be effective in chikungunya fever -- a viral disease spread by infected mosquitoes -- and post-chikungunya chronic arthritis. It is not only one medicine for everyone, but individualized homeopathic treatment for each patient so affected. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23870379 for a review of homeopathy in immunology: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/21622275.

There is no: conclusive clinical research evidence that homeopathy has any active effect on any medical condition at all. This is not surprising since homeopathic nostrums generally contain no active ingredient. Ayurvedic remedies generally contain active substances, but there is no body of well performed research to indicate whether or not they are effective. Don't waste your money.
