Clinical trial, with positive findings, on 217 patients with bronchitis who were treated at doctors’ practices in Germany. Approximately half of the patients were randomly allocated to receive a combination homeopathic medicine called Bronchiselect, and the others received a dummy pill (placebo); they were not told which treatment group they were in. After 3 weeks of treatment, the patients receiving homeopathy had fewer days of coughing than the patients receiving placebo.
