Classical homeopathy involves the dissolving of herbs or allergens into water to extremely minute concentrations.  This dilution may proceed to the point where the water no longer contains any physical remnants of the herb.  The assumption in this modality is that some essential quality of the herb remains within the water.  In the past, studies of this modality have resulted in equivocal results to placebo, others have shown positive results.  More recent studies have shown homeopathic solutions to be more effective than placebo.  Explaining these results has thus far proven very difficult under the paradigm of Conventional Western Medicine.  However, no studies have yet been done to determine the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies over conventional medications such as antihistamines.

The most recently cited study was by Kim et al. in March of 2005. The investigators of this randomized control trial found that there are potential benefits obtained by moderately allergic individuals when using homeopathic remedies when compared to placebo. The solution reduced symptoms and improved quality of life in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis in the Southwestern United States. So view the article visit the Links page.
