I've been hearing the term homeopathic medicines for a while now, but I still can't quite understand what exactly it means. Is it a separate branch of medicine or just a type of alternative treatment? I'm also curious to know who is typically prescribed these medications: adults, children, people with chronic illnesses, or those who don't tolerate traditional medications well. I often see debate on this topic, so I'd like to hear not only the theory but also personal stories: who tried them, for what reasons, and what their initial expectations were.
