Every year on April 10th, World Homeopathy Day is commemorated to celebrate homeopathy and its contributions to medicine. The day is observed to commemorate the birth anniversary of German physician Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, considered the father of homeopathy. Born on 10 April 1755, he was a well-known physicist, linguist, and academic. He discovered homeopathy’s technique for curing the illness. On July 2, 1843, he passed away.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy, or homoeopathy, is a pseudoscientific alternative to allopathic medicine, conceived in 1766 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. In the 19th century, homeopathy became most common. The first homeopathic school opened in 1835, when it was introduced to the United States in 1825. Hundreds of homeopathic institutions sprang up in Europe and the United States during the nineteenth century. Homeopathy was able to be reasonably beneficial during this period when most modes of therapy may be dangerous and unsuccessful. By the end of the century, the profession started to diminish, with America closing in 1920 the last purely homeopathic medical school.

This year the theme of World Homeopathy Day 2025 focuses on education, research, and practice to strengthen homeopathy.
The theme is decided by the Ministry of AYUSH.
The convention strives to improve the availability, accessibility, and quality of homeopathic therapy by increasing the capacity and skills of homeopathic educators, researchers, practitioners, and students. Resource experts from India and beyond with expertise in research, education, and practice within their regulatory frameworks would be present at the convention. The interactions at the convention are aimed at bridging gaps and creating a learning environment for the qualitative development of homeopathy in India. In both stand-alone and integrated settings, the research, practice, and education standards that have been developed would improve patient care more effectively and efficiently. We must all work together to make homeopathy the foremost choice for individuals seeking treatment and wellness.
World Homeopathy Day is observed not only to mark Dr. Hahnemann’s birth. It’s also a day to learn about the issues and future plans for homeopathy’s growth. Its aim is to raise awareness about the various medical services and to increase access and success rates. World Homeopathy Day aims to bring people together to help develop, rethink, and modernize the homeopathic medical system so that more people can benefit from it.
