In my previous post, I discussed the concept of homeopathic medicine and mentioned that I had attended a Sprayology workshop explaining how homeopathy works. At this workshop, I purchased four sprays in order to conduct my own experiment on whether or not homeopathy works. The sprays I bought were called Brain Power, Immunobooster, Detox, and Hair and Nails.

One of my sprays, Brain Power, actually contains animal brain which is supposed to chemically react with your body to stimulate your brain. It uses natural brain chemicals to make your brain function, so yes although this is an all natural remedy system, its not all vegan, or even vegetarian. The immune booster spray is designed to prevent sicknesses by building up the body’s immune system and ability to fight off infections and viruses. The detox spray is supposed to rid your body of all toxins, whether they’re from consumed food or from exposure to the elements. After using this spray religiously for about three months, I am still unsure whether or not it was effective. I knew from the start that the detox spray had no physical tells of whether or not it was working, which was probably a poor decision on my part during the purchase. Like the detox spray, I have no way of proving whether immunobooster, the immune system spray, actually worked; all I know is that I didn’t get sick while taking it, but right when I stopped I caught a cold. However, this may be coincidental, an anecdote if you will. Now, as for the Brain Power spray, I actually have noticed a slight change in my ability to focus, but then again, I may just be altering my perception in order to justify my purchases. The final purchase was the Hair and Nails spray which claimed to help your hair and nails grow faster, stronger, and healthier. For this spray, because the result was to be a physical change, it was easy to tell whether or not it worked, and it did. My hair grew a few inches longer in a record amount of time and it became thicker and less prone to split ends.

In conclusion, the use of homeopathy as an alternate medication is still not proven effective worldwide; however, in my overall experience using it, I believe that some of the sprays are effective. I continue to use these sprays daily and if it turns out that homeopathy really is a hoax, then at least it doesn’t have any prominent negative effects.
