International Journal of Homoeopathic Sciences

Homoeopathy, a system of therapeutics established by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann over two centuries ago, continues to be one of the most debated and researched domains of complementary and alternative medicine. While widely practiced across Europe, Asia, and America, its position within mainstream biomedical discourse remains contentious, primarily due to its fundamental principles of potentization, ultra-dilution, and individualized prescribing. Scientificity—the adherence to principles of systematic inquiry, reproducibility, rationality, and evidence—provides a useful framework for examining Homoeopathy. This article critically explores the scientific foundations of Homoeopathy, the philosophical and epistemological roots of its principles, the challenges it faces in validation within conventional biomedical paradigms, and emerging research trends that lend credibility to its claims. By bridging traditional practice with contemporary scientific methodologies, Homoeopathy can strengthen its evidence base, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and assert its relevance in integrative healthcare.
