Homeopathy: A State of the Science Review With Recommendations for Practical Therapies in Midwifery Practice

Homeopathy Use in the United States and Implications for Public Health: A Review.
Abstract Homeopathy is used by just over 2% of the U.S. population, predominantly for respiratory, otorhinolaryngology, and musculoskeletal complaints.
