How to Handle Worsening of Condition during Treatment - Risk Assessment in Homeopathic Practice
Even though homeopathy is regarded as a harmless intervention, homeopathic practice may not be entirely risk-free. Risk in homeopathy can be divided into direct and indirect risk.

The concept of ‘homeopathic aggravation' which is unique for homeopathy may impose a particular risk as...

Conclusion: For the safety of CAM users, such divergent risk perceptions may have far-reaching consequences. CAM users should be taken seriously with their self-perception as decision-makers considering their approaches to experiences, knowledge, and science. An awareness of differing lay and medical risk perceptions associated with CAM and conventional medicine in research, doctor-patient communication, and education of patients and doctors is thus important to optimize patient safety in complex health care systems.Forsch Komplementmed (Source: Research in Complementary Medicine)
