They have not been determined illegal...yet...but the FDA keeps trying.
A little background:
Last month the FDA issued a "final guidance" that describes how it intends to prioritize enforcement and regulatory actions for homeopathic drug products marketed in the U.S. without the required FDA approval. FDA’s risk-based approach will be used to prioritize enforcement and regulatory actions involving categories of products that FDA says may pose a higher risk to public health.
FDA noted that it anticipates that many homeopathic drug products will fall outside the categories of drug products that it intends to prioritize for enforcement and regulatory action.
This isn't the first time that "guidances" have been issued by the FDA regarding homeopathic remedies. The FDA has been on a crusade for several years, and it's disgraceful. Homeopathy and herbalism provide remedies. They are not drugs. They are not medicine. They are not pharmaceuticals.
The healing power of plants is critical to homeopathy, a form of natural medicine that sources from the earth, and plants form the basis of many homeopathic remedies, such as Arnica, Calendula, Chamomile, and St. John's Wort.
