Background:

Among the non-conventional assumptions of homeopathy, the use of medicines in high dilutions (HD) is a cause for objections and skepticism among the scientific community, trained within the dose-dependency paradigm of classic pharmacology. Research aiming at evidencing the effects of homeopathic HD has resource to several experimental models (in vitro, plants and animals).

Aim:

To describe the results of studies with high methodological quality that demonstrated positiveeffects of homeopathic HD on plants.

Methods:

Taking reviews published until 2015 as reference source, we updated the information through addition of data from recent studies included in database PubMed.

Results:

From 167 experimental studies analyzed, 48 met the minimum criteria of methodological quality, from which 29 detected specific effects of homeopathic high dilutions on plants through comparison to adequate controls.

Conclusions:

Despite the substandard methodological quality ofmost experiments, studies with systematic use of negative controls and reproducibility demonstrated significant indisputable effects of homeopathic HD on plants.(AU)
