Who is a Homeopathic Doctor?

Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted substances, often in the form of tinctures or pellets, and are believed to stimulate the body's vital force to promote healing.

In India, the professional who practices Homeopathy and prescribes homeopathic medicines is called a "Homeopath" or "Homeopathic Doctor." These professionals undergo specific education and training in Homeopathy to become qualified practitioners. They are responsible for diagnosing illnesses, understanding the patient's symptoms, and prescribing homeopathic remedies tailored to the individual's unique constitution.
