Abstract

Non-pharmacologic treatments (NPTs) based on homeopathy is being paid more and more attention, but because of its lack of theoretical foundation, it is difficult to become the mainstream of medicine. Although homeopathy has a history of nearly 200 years and has remedied the shortcomings of current medicine, it is still questioned by many people. Homeopathy is actually an NPT, because the diluted liquid has almost no medicinal component, only the water in it and the act of shaking the medicine bottle give people a belief, many patients who have no effect with drug treatment benefit from homeopathy treatment. Supporters of homeopathy believe that the human body has a strong ability to repair itself, and the spiritual strength of people actually occupies a very important status. However, many people still question the science of homeopathy, meantime also do not clarify whether current medicine is scientific. High morbidity and mortality are indisputable realities, careful analysis of current medical research theory, the reason why cannot be a good guide to medical practice, is because cannot withstand the scrutiny of philosophical theory, deviated from the correct law of thinking. There should be a place for NPTs and needs to be supported by philosophical theories and principles. NPTs should be become in the mainstream of medicine with the support of philosophical theories.
