Economic evaluations of homeopathy: a review

Petter Viksveen (), Zofia Dymitr and Steven Simoens

The European Journal of Health Economics, 2014, vol. 15, issue 2, 157-174

Abstract: Although the identified evidence of the costs and potential benefits of homeopathy seemed promising, studies were highly heterogeneous and had several methodological weaknesses. It is therefore not possible to draw firm conclusions based on existing economic evaluations of homeopathy. Recommendations for future research are presented.
