Myth: Homeopathic medications take a long time to work.
Various forms of ailments, both chronic and acute, can be effectively treated using homeopathy. Unfortunately, people tend to seek out a homeopath only when an acute problem has become chronic, that is, when it has gotten more severe and difficult to treat. They choose homeopathy when other medical systems fail to treat or heal their medical problem, which is most often the case in cases of arthritis, asthma, skin conditions like psoriasis,eczema, and so on. Even with any other system of medicine, these situations inherently take longer to treat. Homeopathic remedies work as quickly as conventional medicines for acute diseases such as fever, diarrhea, acute cold, cough, and so on.

Myth: Steroids are found in homeopathic remedies.
Unlike steroid-based medicines, homeopathy believes in treating the disorder rather than suppressing it. Therefore, utilizing steroids goes against the principle of homeopathy.
