Does homoeopathic medicine really work or is merely psychological?

Research claims to have confirmed the efficacy of homeopathic medicine and the old idea that it only worked psychologically has been disproved.

Additional support comes from the fact that animals and infants also benefit form homeopathic treatment and it is unlikely that they will react psychologically to a medicine they often do not know they are being given.

Infants: Homeopathic remedies and treatments are successfully used by parents for common infant ailments such as colic, teething pain and stomach infections.

Animals: There are many veterinarians using homeopathic medicines to treat domestic pets such as cats, dogs and birds, as well as barnyard animals like goats, horses and cows. Is it possible to have a placebo effect with animals?
