Good. That's a start.
IMO, homeopathic medicines should be packaged at least as prominently as cigarettes are labeled in the EU, e.g. big bold letters on every package that say "This is NOT real medicine" or "Pill shell only" or "Placebo Effect Only"
I think oftentimes it gets a pass when it shouldn't due to certain factors:
1. Homeopathy shills are modern day Alchemists - they are really persuasive bullshit artists (trying to make money out of literal thin air)
2. Many people associate homeopathy with herbal remedies, which is ironic, because herbal remedies actually do have a measurable non-placebo effect. Many of the actual medicines are based on isolated plant compounds, etc.
3. It's still niche enough that it gets a pass, sort of like modern day Anti-vaxxers. So not a lot of harm from it simply due to being a small % of the population.
