Speaking at a two-day symposium organised by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) on World Homoeopathy Day, she noted that homeopathy has gained recognition as a simple and accessible treatment method worldwide.

She emphasized that the symposium’s theme, “Empowering Research, Enhancing Proficiency,” is highly relevant.
President Murmu also highlighted the significance of presenting experiences of individuals who have benefited from homeopathy in a scientific manner, through factual analysis. She stressed the importance of authentic medical research in gaining recognition from the scientific community and increasing confidence in homeopathy among the public.
“The importance of research is continuously increasing in the 21st century. Therefore, the theme of this symposium ‘Empowering Research, Enhancing Proficiency’ is very relevant,” she said, emphasising that research and proficiency will play an important role in further increasing the acceptance and popularity of homeopathy.
The President said many people share experiences of those who have benefited from homeopathy after trying other treatment methods.
“But such experiences can be recognised in the scientific community only when presented with facts and analysis. Such factual analysis done on a large scale is called authentic medical research. Encouraging scientific rigor will further increase people’s confidence in this medical system,” Murmu said.
On the occasion, Secretary, Ministry of Ayush Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha said “in homeopathy, there are immense possibilities for integration between other medical systems and traditional medicine. Efforts to integrate these systems, where appropriate, will benefit patients who demand a comprehensive approach to healthcare.
