In a world where healthcare systems are constantly evolving, one medical approach is gaining significant traction, and that is homeopathy. With its holistic principles and emphasis on treating patients as a whole, homeopathy is increasingly being recognised as a valuable complement to conventional medicine. As the popularity of homeopathy continues to rise globally, healthcare professionals are exploring innovative ways to integrate this ancient practice into modern healthcare systems, unlocking new frontiers in patient-centered care.

From its holistic approach to treating patients to its emphasis on mental and emotional well-being, homeopathy offers a fresh perspective on healthcare delivery that prioritises the individual needs of each patient. As we navigate the complexities of an ever-changing healthcare landscape, one thing is clear: homeopathy is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of patient-centred care.

But what exactly is homeopathy, and how does it fit into modern healthcare?

According to Dr Shali Akbar, Homeopathic Practitioner, Shant Medical Centre, Sharjah, homeopathy is gaining popularity day by day and is currently practiced in 100+ countries. According to WHO, homeopathy is the fastest-growing and second most widely used system in the world.

“The basic principle of homeopathy is to treat patients as a whole — considering mental, physical, and emotional aspects — to restore health in the best way without any side effects,” says Dr Akbar. “This is the advantage of homeopathic treatment and that fits it into modern healthcare systems.”
