    The Homeopathy Research Institute (HRI) is an international charity that funds scientific research on homeopathy. HRI was founded by a physicist to address the lack of high-quality research on homeopathy using rigorous scientific methods. HRI researchers study how homeopathy works and what conditions it can effectively treat. More research is needed due to homeopathy's widespread use but lack of funding from government research budgets. HRI relies on donations to conduct the research that can determine homeopathy's role in healthcare.

    What is homeopathy?
    Homeopathy is a form of holistic medicine which has been used for over 200
    years to treat both acute and chronic medical conditions. Homeopathy is
    growing in popularity; it is now used by 6 million people in the UK,1 100 million
    people in the European Union,2 and in India alone, 100 million people depend
    solely on homeopathy for their medical care.3

    Why do we need more research?


    A form of medicine this widely used needs to be researched, yet scientific
    research in homeopathy is a relatively new field. Consequently, there are many
    important, unanswered questions, such as, How effective is homeopathy
    compared with conventional medicine for specific medical conditions? What
    does homeopathy cost compared with existing treatments?  What effect do
    homeopathic medicines have ‘in vitro’? 

    Researchers around the world have begun to investigate these kinds of


    questions and some exciting results have been published, but more research is
    essential if we are to find the definitive answers both patients and healthcare
    providers need.

    Why do we need HRI?


    Homeopathy is a complex subject that is only just starting to be explored. From
    what we know so far, the evidence suggests that homeopathy could provide
    solutions to many of the challenges facing us today – from overuse of
    antibiotics to spiralling healthcare budgets – but to know for sure, we need
    more hard data.

    Despite its potential, research in homeopathy is not a government priority. For


    example, in the UK only 0.0085%4 of the total medical research budget is spent
    on the entire field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, of which
    homeopathy is only one example. Until this changes, the work of HRI is
    essential.

    “HRI has been a fantastic addition to the world-wide homeopathic
    community. In only 10 years they have become a leading authority

    ”
    on homeopathic research and worked tirelessly to present the
    evidence around the world.” – Faculty of Homeopathy

    HRI relies entirely on donations. With your help, we can carry out the high
    quality research needed to determine the precise role homeopathy could, and
    should, play in the healthcare systems of the future.
