Homeopathy looks beyond the symptoms and more at the feelings and experiences underlying that may underlie these symptoms. In that way, it kind of reminds me of psychiatry. But the remedies are all natural. So like bcb said, at best, it will help me, at worst, no harm is done.
Besides, if you try it and don't like it, nobody is forcing you to keep going. But from my experiences and opinion, it's worth a shot.

I don't think I'd agree with the "no harm" bit - they cost money after all, and help finance scam artists (I consider all homeopaths to be either scam artists or deluded, since the underlying principles have been shown to be wrong and properly designed clinical trials consistently show it doesn't work). The big harm comes when people go and see a homeopath and get their water/sugar placebos instead of getting real treatment though.
