Before understanding the concept of side effects let us first consider what exactly is a side effect. A side effect is an effect on the parts of the body that are not affected by illness while taking treatment for another part affected with the illness. This effect is simultaneous in nature along with the curative effects. In case of homeopathy, there are no direct side effects. The “side effect” if at all occurs, may occur after few months of taking homeopathic medicine without supervision of a homeopathic doctor in cases of self medication. Usually the patient should be completely asymptomatic after homeopathic treatment for the period of three to six months.

When it comes to when it comes to side effects with respect to any pathy think of Newton’s law “Action and reaction are equal and opposite”.
