At least some natural/traditional remidies are legit
Yes. But that’s not Homeopathy. Holistic/Herbal medicine is valid (for the most part). Heck, most medicine started out as our ancestors realising that this or that plant eased pain, or lowered inflammation or a hundred other things.
Modern medicine is mostly just a distillation of those age old cures into more convenient pill form.
But let’s be really really clear here, Homeopathy is NOT “traditional medicine”. It’s a scam. This notion that because an infection makes your eye red, and an onion also makes your eye red, therefore a drop of diluted onion water will cure your eye infection is just a straight up insane at best, criminal at worst.
“For the most part” is probably being generous. Yes, there are naturally occuring medicines which have paper observable physiological effects of the human body, but, the fundamental difference between modern medicine and “traditional” or “herbal” medicine is the truth-seeking framework in which it exists. Herbal medicine which stands up to scientific rigor is just medicine.
