Can homeopathic medicine really shrink polyps? i may have a polyp and thinking of trying to shrink it rather then surgery
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Truly homeopathic "medications" are made by repeated dilutions, so that the ingredient is not really in the medication anymore (just the "essence" of it remains). That means there is no active ingredient left to cause any benefit. That also implies the truly homeopathic "medicine" should be pretty harmless, unless some non-homeopathic ingredients were added to create some flavor or some effect.
