The Integration Of Homeopathy In Veterinary Medicine: Evidence-Based Review And Future Perspectives
Abstract
Homeopathy, a therapeutic system centered on stimulating the body’s self-healing mechanisms, is gaining traction in veterinary practice. Although widely used in human healthcare, its application in animals remains underexplored. Homeopathy is not just for humans; But it can be used to help the animals of this planet via the same principals laid by the Dr. C.S.F. Hahnemann.
Veterinary homeopathy dates to the 19th century and is especially popular in Veterinary homeopathy is used in the animal care, especially for livestock, due to its cost-effectiveness, safety, and holistic nature.
In this review article we have tried to access via various research and articles to procure evidence in promising to place homoeopathy in mainstream veterinary practice and to establish standardized treatment protocols via its gentle, effective, and sustainable treatment.
