Homeopathy is the most popular form of alternative medicine in France. Its use rose from 16% of the population in 1982 to 29% in 1987 and 36% in 1992.[14] In a 2018 survey, 77% of French answered to have used homeopathic remedies at least once, 58% have used them "several times", and more than 40% have used homeopathy for over 10 years. Nevertheless, in July 2019 the French ministry of health announced to no longer reimburse homeopathic medicines starting from 2021 as they are deemed to "not provide sufficient public health benefits".[15]
