Hypothesis: do homeopathic medicines exert their action in humans and  
animals via the vomeronasal system?
M. McGuigan

There is significant debate on the nature of the active therapeutic  
ingredient in homeopathic medicines and whether the effect of  
homeopathic medicines is exerted locally. This paper accepts that  
there is an active therapeutic ingredient in homeopathic medicines  
that acts pharmacologically in the body and proposes a possible  
receptor site.
The vomeronasal organ (Jacobson's organ) is the receptor site for the  
detection of non-odorant molecules, eg pheromones, in reptiles,  
amphibians and mammals. The organ forms the main part of a  
chemoreceptor system known as the vomeronasal system. This paper  
proposes that it is this system that constitutes the receptor for  
homeopathic medicines in both animal and human subjects.
