Homeopathy as a Complementary System in Integrative Healthcare

Abstract

Homeopathy is a complementary system of medicine based on the principles of individualization and holistic healing. This paper explores the role of homeopathy within integrative healthcare models that combine conventional and alternative approaches. Homeopathy emphasizes treating the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on isolated symptoms, considering physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions of health.
The paper discusses the theoretical foundations of homeopathy, including the concepts of similars and minimal dosage. While homeopathy remains a subject of scientific debate, its widespread use across various regions reflects patient demand for personalized and non-invasive treatment options. Many individuals seek homeopathic care for chronic conditions, stress-related disorders, and general well-being.
Integrative healthcare models aim to enhance patient satisfaction and outcomes by offering multiple therapeutic choices under professional supervision. The paper highlights the importance of evidence-informed practice, ethical standards, and regulatory frameworks to ensure patient safety. It concludes that homeopathy, when practiced responsibly and integrated appropriately, may contribute to holistic healthcare by addressing patient preferences, promoting self-healing, and supporting overall quality of life.
