MM, If someone is a believer, he might do things what his fellow believers may have been doing without trying to understand if it would really produce any result...and these practices are common across religions. While we cannot definitely say if bathing in holy waters does actually benifit us, I cannot rule out the positive effects of homeopathy I have seen in our society back home. I wish someone cracked this puzzle without being biased.

Fathima, You won't lose anything if you consult a good homeopath in Sri Lanka.
