What are the medicines?

Homeopathic medicines are made according to a book of standards called the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). Since homeopathic medicines are considered to be drugs under United States Federal Law, the HPUS is recognized by the FDA, which regulates the manufacture, marketing and sales of all homeopathic medicines in the United States.

The great bulk of homeopathic medicines come from botanical or plant sources, the rest come from minerals or biological sources. Homeopathic medicines come in various pharmaceutical forms such as globules, liquids, ampoules and gels for local application.
