I hate to lay waste to good intentions but... Visited the store today with a list of remedies for my shingles pain. The sales lady, while helpful and providing the appearance of credible was over the moon excited for me to buy a homeopathic oral spray. The sales pitch was long. It was tiring. She wore me down and I eventually bought it with the rest of my things.
I came later to read that this spray not only contains NO actual medicine but the whole business of homeopathy is largely rejected by the scientific community. So I paid $20 for a placebo.
