Homeopathy wins loyalty test

When it comes to the user loyalty test, homeopathy appears to be a clear winner. According to a first ever survey on homeopathy, a staggering 82% of homeo users said they would not switch to conventional medicine treatment like allopathy. The users also gave a thumbs-up rating to homeopathy as a safe and preferred treatment especially for chronic ailments like respiratory, gastric, hair, and skin problems.

The survey also revealed a downside. That awareness about homeopathy was way low (62%). Commenting on the survey findings, Dr Mukesh Batra, CMD, Dr Batra’s chain of clinics, observed that from the citizens point of view, homeopathy was a treatment of last resort, i.e. people used to try it after all other treatments had failed.

The survey also drew a comparison between allopathy and homeopathy. While 59% opted for conventional medicine based on quick recall and 56% for immediate results, 53% chose homeopathy because it is considered safer, and 50% because it was recommended by relatives and friends.
