Around the world, more than 300 million people in at least 70 countries use homeopathy either alone or in combination with other care to treat themselves. The use of this therapy is growing, particularly in certain areas of the world such as Northern Europe, where life expectancy is one of the highest in the world.

Throughout the world, complementary medicine, and predominantly homeopathy, is increasingly being considered a powerful ally to conventional medicine. It exists in almost every country in the world, and the demand for services in this area is on the rise.

Examples of countries that recognise this complementary medicine are India, China, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, South Africa, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Great Britain.

Homeopathy is now considered a branch of medicine and the pharmaceutical industry in its own right, especially in northern European countries like Sweden, Norway and Finland.
