Abstract

Effectiveness of Chamomilla vulgaris at 30 CH (Hahnemann’s centesimal dose as a homeopathic treatment) versus conventional therapy with antimicrobials was evaluated in 180 pre-fattening swines suffering from diarrhea containing undigested food. An open, non-sequential, randomized phase II clinical test was performed. Swines were distributed into three groups according to treatment : (1) five sublingual drops of Chamomilla vulgaris at 30 CH for seven days; (2) 0,5 % IM Metronidazole for seven days , and (3) five sublingual drops of distilled water (placebo) for the first three days and, 0,5 % IM Metronidazole for the other days. A significant difference (P<0,05) was detected in swines recovery by the homeopathic treatment, which also proved to be more effective and economical than the conventional therapy.
