I appreciate you bringing this up. hadn't really paid much attention to this topic before.
I'll admit I don't know much about homeopathy. I've long heard it has done an abundance of good? And I am no fan of 'conventional medicine' except in emergency situations, such as trauma, heart attacks, etc. The thing about conventional medicine is that it seeks to exclude the medicinal qualities of God's creation while homeopathy seeks to utilize them.
But my concerns with homeopathy is that it is well embraced by the occult movement (the poet Yeats, for example was a big fan).
Not to say that occultists don't try to distort the goodness in Creation whenever and wherever they can but the whole thing leaves me a bit wary. Same with Reiki, acupuncture, etc. These are all embraced by the New Age movement. Perhaps the medical advice from St. Hildegard of Bingen (her Physica) is probably more helpful?
At the end of the day, I think one must choose their homeopath very carefully. There are so many traps and snares out there.
P.S. I found this article helpful, by an ex-New Ager who writes about how the occult uses homeopathy

Thomas,
Anything good can be used with evil intentions. The new agers use herbs, does that make herbs bad because new agers use them?
How does using God's created substance and diluting it down make it evil? Or suspect to being something from the occult?
