Holistic approach: Allopathic medicine has little to offer for ovarian cysts except surgery in extreme cases & oral contraceptives which can prevent but don't address the cause. Homeopathy can help-you need to find a good homeopath, but i also strongly advise a healthy diet, lifestyle changes & medicinal herbs-see http://natural-fertility-info.Com/ovarian-cyst-remedy for an excellent overview of a holistic approach.

Medical systems: Homeopathy and allopathy are systems of medicine, not medications in themselves. Allopathy means "other suffering" -- and refers to using treatments that cause effects different from those of the disease being treated. Homeopathy = "similar suffering" -- and uses minute quantities of medicines that would produce in a healthy person, symptoms similar to those of the disease. Please see comment.
