Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine, whose theory is based on the principle that like cures like. Homeopathic dilutions involve serial dilution with succussion, which means dilutions are accompanied by vigorous shaking. The dilutions are prepared so that there may not be even a single molecule of the original substance remaining. However, homeopaths claim that water has memory and the potentized preparations trigger healing response. The exact mechanism of how ultra-diluted solutions could have clinically meaningful biological effects still remains scientifically unproven. Critics argue that high dilutions should have only a placebo effect. However, advocates argue that even if the original molecules are absent, structural properties of water must be differently arranged. More research is still needed to establish the effectiveness and safety of homeopathic dilutions.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing interest in holistic and natural therapies and consumer perception of safety are anticipated to drive the growth of the global homeopathic dilutions market over the forecast period. Moreover, personalized treatment approach and growing awareness and acceptance are also expected to boost the growth of the global homeopathic dilutions market over the forecast period. Expansion of product offerings, integration of technology, education and awareness campaigns, collaborations, and partnerships are expected to create growth opportunities for the global homeopathic dilutions market during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2020, Dr. Reckeweg & co. GmbH, a Germany-based homeopathy medicine and product developing company, announced to increase its product portfolio.
However, skepticism and lack of scientific evidence, regulatory challenges and compliance, and limited reimbursement and insurance coverage are expected to hamper the growth of the homeopathic dilutions market over the forecast period.
