Homeopathic Treatment for Fibroids

Homeopathy is an alternative medicine based on the principle that "a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people," states the National Institutes for Health on their website. Hippocrates himself studied this idea. The National Center for Homeopathy has done studies on the effectiveness of homeopathic treatments on uterine fibroids. They note an 80% cure rate.
