Abstract
Homoeopathy, which is a kind of alternative medicine, has been the topic of discussion questioning whether or not it is effective in combating antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the likelihood of homoeopathy serving as a supplemental strategy in the fight against antibiotic resistance. A number of studies have shown that homoeopathic remedies may affect the immune system and increase host defence mechanisms. This is despite the fact that the mechanism of action of homoeopathic remedies has been the subject of much debate. Homoeopathy, on the other hand, places an emphasis on individualised therapy, which has the potential to decrease the use of antibiotics without discrimination and minimise the development of antibiotic resistance. In addition, homoeopathic treatments are typically believed to be safe and free of any adverse effects, making them a feasible choice for patients who are unable to use traditional antibiotics due to contraindications. It is necessary, however, to conduct more rigorous research, which should include randomised controlled trials and mechanistic investigations, in order to learn more about the efficacy of homoeopathy in combating antibiotic resistance and the processes that underlie its efficiency. This analysis highlights the significance of taking into consideration homoeopathy as a component of an all-encompassing approach to address the worldwide problem of antibiotic resistance.
