Whether fundamental or clinical, research plays a key role in understanding the mechanisms of action of homeopathy, evaluating its effects, and ensuring a rigorous practice. For many years, laboratories, international research teams, and scientific societies have been actively engaged in this field. The CEDH is part of this dynamic by supporting an evidence-based approach and promoting work that contributes to the scientific development of homeopathy.
The Homeopathy Research Institute (HRI) is a UK-based charity, founded in 2007 by Dr. Alexander Tournier. Its mission is to promote independent and rigorous scientific research on homeopathy, in collaboration with scientists, physicians, and practicing homeopaths.
The HRI supports research projects selected by a scientific committee, organizes international conferences, and provides reliable resources for professionals, policymakers, and the general public. Through its in-depth fundamental and clinical studies, it highlights high-quality work, offering an objective analysis based on evidence. It also combats misinformation by publishing clear and accessible summaries of scientific advances.
This white paper highlights recent progress from fundamental and clinical research, drawing on HRI’s work as well as patient and physician testimonies. It offers a rigorous, evidence-based perspective to better understand the role homeopathy can play in modern healthcare systems, particularly in addressing major challenges such as personalized medicine, antibiotic resistance, and cost control.
This brochure, published by Laboratoires Boiron, provides an overview of recent advances, research methodologies, and key issues in the field, emphasizing that homeopathy is more than ever a science-based medicine. It offers practitioners an effective and safe therapeutic tool, fully aligned with a patient-centered approach to care.
