Editorial for Homeopathy and Ayurveda: Evidence-based Homeopathy
The historical and current debate on the concept of ‘Evidencebased homeopathy’ is reviewed and suggestions as to how homeopathic practitioners and researchers can further develop and refine their methods of homeopathic treatment and evaluation are suggested.
Abstract
The focus of my editorial is to examine the concept of ‘Evidencebased homeopathy’ and I shall take as my starting point the definition of ‘evidence’, viz “indication, sign, proof that can be seen and clearness” (Chamber’s Dictionary). Starting from this premise, I should like to review the historical and current debate on the subject and move towards a resolution of the issue with suggestions as to how homeopathic practitioners and researchers can further develop and refine their methods of homeopathic treatment and evaluation.
