New Delhi, Apr 10 (PTI) President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday said research and proficiency will play an important role in further increasing the acceptance and popularity of homeopathy.Inaugurating a two-day symposium organised by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy here on World Homoeopathy Day, Murmu said homeopathy has been adopted in many countries as a simple and accessible treatment method.All over the world, many institutions at international, national and local levels have been promoting homeopathy, she said while appreciating the Ministry of AYUSH, Central Council for Research in Homeopathy, National Commission for Homeopathy, National Institute of Homeopathy and other such institutions for their contribution in the promotion of homeopathy in India.

“The importance of research is continuously increasing in the 21st century. Therefore, the theme of this symposium ‘Empowering Research, Enhancing Proficiency’ is very relevant,” she said emphasising that research and proficiency will play an important role in further increasing the acceptance and popularity of homeopathy. The President said many people share experiences of those who have benefited from homeopathy after trying other treatment methods.”But such experiences can be recognised in the scientific community only when presented with facts and analysis. Such factual analysis done on a large scale is called authentic medical research. Encouraging scientific rigor will further increase people’s confidence in this medical system,” Murmu said. The President also said that healthy people create a healthy society and a healthy nation is built on the foundation of a healthy society.
