Homeopathy is a promising approach, which seeks to provide a natural and safe form of treatment with minimal side effects. It works to build innate immunity and improve the underlying tendency of body to tackle disease symptoms.

A study conducted in the UK reveals that homeopathic drugs have demonstrated significant anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. An increasing number of patients worldwide have been choosing homeopathic cancer treatments over allopathic treatment.

It has further been indicated that potentised homeopathic drugs can inhibit tumour growth and ultra-low doses of homeopathic medications may be able to decrease tumour induction. However, experts also argue that low-potency homeopathic remedies which contain active molecules can also produce clinical effects.

Homeopathic medications are prepared with natural substances which are diluted effectively to suit individual needs. These remedies are then administered in a very controlled manner, taking into account the overall health history of the individual. Homeopathic remedies are therefore safe to use and do not have any side effects. Nevertheless, treatment must be taken only under the supervision of a certified homeopathic practitioner. 

Brain tumour can be benign or malignant. It is usually accompanied by symptoms such as headache, vision problems, confusion and balance problems. This condition has a significant impact on the physical health of an individual and on the quality of their life. Enduring the treatment for cancer in itself requires immense strength. Homeopathy offers a safe and natural form of complementary treatment for brain tumour with no known side effects. It can be safely taken along with conventional medicines for treating brain tumour.
