Holistic Approach in Treating Illnesses Draws Attention to Homeopathy Treatments

Homeopathy treatments approach illnesses as a whole instead of a clinical condition. Diseases, illnesses, and conditions are considered to be a result of imbalance or off-balance of mental state, which creates a disturbance in wellbeing. Thus, this unique characteristic ensures the patient receives a personalized assessment of the condition and treatment. Treatments are designed and curated to stimulate body’s own healing mechanism through specific medicinal formulae. Thus, a more holistic approach and personalization of medications have garnered the global homeopathic products market significant attention.

The market also stands to benefit as homeopathic products are far more affordable than allopathy treatments and consultations with specialized doctors. The lack of side effects due to the consumption of homeopathic products has also fuelled the market growth. Furthermore, homeopathic products offer solutions to a wide range of medical issues ranging from skin to liver, which has also created a positive influence in the global market.

Lack of Empirical Data About Safety and Effectiveness Hinders Market Growth

So far, no homeopathic products have been approved by FDA. While homeopathic products are generally highly diluted, few of these have been found to contain measurable amounts of active ingredients and therefore have the potential of causing harm, if consumed or used without prescription. However, upcoming regulatory moves from different nodal agencies would play a decisive role in giving the market significant momentum.

Furthermore, the Lack of scientific or empirical data to support the ‘safety and effectiveness claims of homeopathy practitioners make it challenging to prescribe these medicines for critical illnesses, which can hinder the market growth.

Growing awareness about natural remedies for diseases, infections, and conditions is boosting the market growth. For instance, the homeopathic combination of Arsenicum album 30 as a prophylactic medicine against Coronavirus is being increasingly used. The sudden spotlight on Arsenicum album30 came as a result of the Ministry of AYUSH, Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH) released a statement in support of alternative treatments for boosting immunity to combat the Coronavirus.

Important market growth stimulant is growing need for safe, low cost and effective alternative treatment methodologies, especially for chronic diseases. Homeopathy fits the bill as safer and effective, easy to use, for all age groups of patients, especially for the growing paediatric and geriatric population.

Also, some research studies have exhibited significantly positive outcomes as three-quarters of the chronically ill patients reported that they felt ‘moderately better’ or ‘much better.'

Integration of Homeopathy with other Alternative Treatments to Boost Homeopathic Products Market
