The British Homeopathic Association have a great website with many articles on Homeopathy including treatment suggestions for Mental, Emotional and Physical conditions. Click here for more information. The other good news is that the NHS (Australian version of Medicare) will continue to offer Homeopathic treatments via GP referrals and through the 5 Homeopathic Hospitals. Earlier in the year there was ‘opinions’ of some that Homeopathy was wasting the NHS money, was only acting as placebo and therefore should no longer be offered.

The Health Minister, the Rt Hon Mike O’Brien QC MP, told the Science and Technology select committee that there was no justification for cutting funding for homeopathy on the NHS and that a significant number of people believe it works.

Mr O’Brien said cutting the funding would be “illiberal” and “a denial of personal choice” and that there is “a significant body of clinicians who take a view that [homeopathy] works”. He told the committee that there was “justification for more research” in homeopathy.

He reiterated that it is up to individual clinicians to decide on the best treatment for their patients and that it was not his job to tell GPs whether or not to prescribe homeopathy. He also clarified that the spend on homeopathic medicines in the NHS is only £152,000, from a total NHS annual drugs budget of £11 billion
