I grew up in an Asian household.. so homeopathic remedies have been around me since I was born.
They actually do work... but they usually just help the symptoms and not always the problem at hand.
I like "cupping". (Take heated round cups and stick them onto a person's body and it creates pressure which relieves tension and pain.)
I like herbal remedies. Though, if you make these a daily routine, your body may become immune to its effects. :P
Acupuncture is alright.. not the best.. but it can help muscle pain and back pain.
Crystal therapy is more meditation than anything else. And meditation has been proven to work in many instances. I was watching a documentary on TV where they're trying to find a way to incorporate it into hospitals. (meditation.. not crystal therapy)
My mother knows a lot of remedies.. especially remedies for babies since she is the oldest of thirteen children and had to take an active role in her siblings' lives. I've seen her use these remedies.. and I thought she was crazy.. until they actually worked. She can stop hiccups without the use or water or holding your breath. She uses lint and puts it on a person's forehead. And.. they stop instantly. She does stuff with the lint that concerns the person's bodily fluids.
So.. for the most part, homeopathic remedies are good but shouldn't be thought of as above taking medicine a doctor prescribes you.
