What is funny is their remedies would only have had an effect if it was done right away. Still wouldn't have treated tetanus, but as far as wound management some of that does something.
Homeopaths are derrainged and do more harm than good with traditional medicine.
I bet a lot of people peddling homeopathy just think it's herbs and water, and don't know the initial theories behind it like "the law of similars" (thinking something can be treated by a substance that causes similar symptoms) and miasma (outdated idea on how diseases spread), or the fact that it's often so diluted to the point where whatever was originally there is essentially gone.
At least some natural/traditional remedies are legit, but still see an actual fucking doctor over anything serious.
