Is Homeo Medicine helpful to prevent future further problems which is happened as a result of full Episiotomy?

Question

What is the result of using Homeopathy medicine after Episiotomy? How many patients get completely cure by it? Many people suggest Homeo medicine for the treatment of Episiotomy. But some people oppose it. Websites also gives contradictory information. So we became very confused. We need to verify it through evidence, authentic information, real and practical experience from the people- Doctors, physicians and patients. Can anybody give assurance that, Homeo medicine can 100% helpful and effective for any patient, who have full cut Episiotomy or any other major surgical operation? Is it safe for everybody, that no risk, no side affect? Is this medicine only for primary days after Episiotomy for pain reduction and infection prevention, or helpful in any time for ultimate recovery process? After 2 months, when the healing has already completed, only have little pain sometimes inside the affected area, have any need to take any Homeo medicine at this time to prevent future problems?

Answer 1

Homeopathic medicines essentially contain no (ZERO) active ingredients.  So directly, it's safe, since it's generally water or sugar pills.  Indirectly, it's not safe if it keeps you from getting real treatment for something serious.  

All in all, it's a placebo that's not marketed as such.  So I'd be careful not to use it in a situation where a placebo will do no good.
