Nearly 6 out of 10 people say they have used homeopathy in their lifetime
Conducted over 18 month a sample of 16,334 people interviewed in 16 countries, the international survey by Toluna Harris Interactive aimed to evaluate how homeopathy is perceived and used around the world.
The initial results are insightful: 57% of people say they have used homeopathy in their lifetime and 55% plan to use it in the future, because they believe that homeopathic treatments are natural and have no side effects.
Homeopathy is a popular and internationally recognised medical practice.
In the 16 countries surveyed, 57% of people say they have used homeopathy in their lifetime.
Focusing on the last 12 months, an average of 48% of people have used homeopathy, either regularly or occasionally.
In the 16 countries surveyed, use over the last 12 months ranged from 27% (in Canada) to 78% (in India). These variations can be linked to the history of homeopathy in the country, the number of laboratories offering homeopathy, the population’s appetite for complementary medicine, the way the country’s healthcare system works, and the presence of healthcare professionals practising homeopathy.
In the vast majority of European countries, more than 8 out of 10 people surveyed are satisfied with these treatments. This is the case for the Czech Republic (81%), Spain (84%), Italy (81%), and Hungary (82%). On the other side of the Atlantic, the scores are very high in the USA and Colombia, where 9 out of 10 people are satisfied with homeopathy. Brazil shows a record level of satisfaction, at 96%.
