Applied research in homeopathy has garnered the attention of the research fraternity, and there is a growing interest in investigating the mechanism of action of homeopathic medicines. The in vitro model systems being used rely mainly on isolated cells and cell lines. However, what has been seen from reviews of the published literature is the vast variation in the findings.1 2 3 Treatment of cells reveals a clear role of homeopathic medicines in a majority of the studies, whereas some experiments yield no effects. This has led to controversies on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines at the cellular and molecular levels.4
