Abstract

Dr. Hahnemann tarafından
geliştirilen bir tedavi sanatı olan homeopatinin kökleri 18. yüzyılın başlarında Almanya'ya
kadar dayanır. Zamanının çok ilerisinde bir tedavi şekli olan homeopati çok kısa
sürede Avrupa,
Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Asya'ya yayılmıştır. Şifa sanatlarının ilerleyişi ve gelişimi boyunca homeopati, görkemli
günlerinin yanı sıra dikkate alınmadığı zamanlar da olmuştur. Fakat
hasta merkezli prensiplerinden vaz geçmeyen homeopati, zamana karşı hayatta kalmış ve o kadar gelişmiştir ki Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’ne göre, günümüzde dünyanın en yaygın ikinci tedavi sistemi olmuştur. Şu anda, bazı ülkelerin ulusal sağlık sistemi içinde yer almaktadır. Birçok homeopati hastanesi ve eğitim
öğrenim kurumu vardır. Homeopati
sadece insanlarda etkili değildir; veteriner hekimlikte ve son zamanlarda yavaş da gelişim gösterse aynı zamanda tarımsal alanda da klinik çalışmalar ile kendini kanıtlamıştır. Sağlık maliyetlerini düşürmesi nedeni ile bazı
ülkeler ulusal sigorta sistemine dahil etmektedirler. Diğer bütün sağlık
sisteminin içindeki tedavi sanatı ve uygulamaları gibi homeopati de kendini şu
anki bilimsel platformda kanıtlamak zorundadır. Ancak ne kadar zorlansa da güvenilir ve hasta odaklı homeopati prensipleri, sürekli ve de en çok da ona
sadık hastaları tarafından desteklenmektedir. Tabi ki de homeopatide de son yıllarda etkinliğini destekleyen kanıt dayalı araştırmalar artmıştır.

The Status of Homeopathy in the World and in Europe

Abstract

Homeopathy has its origins
dating back to early 18th century Germany. Dr. Hahnemann formulated the
treatment systems and principles which later will be known as Homeopathy. Soon
enough homeopathy spread internationally to the rest of Europe, United States
and Asia. Along the progression and the development of the healing arts
homeopathy has had its glorious days as well as underprivileged days. However
rooting itself on solid patient based principles it has survived and developed
further against time so much so that according to the World Health Organization
Homeopathy is the second largest medical healing art in the World. İt is well
established within many national health care systems. There are many homeopathy
hospitals and educational learning institutions. Homeopathy isn’t only
effective in humans but it has proven itself with clinical evidence in the
veterinarian medicine and also in agricultural use just as well. Having the
Works of homeopathy so widely available in national policies it has proven
itself to be cost effective as well. Every so often just like any other health
care system homeopathy also is challenged with science in the midst of our
changing societies. However the sound patient oriented principles of homeopathy
resists and is supported by its ever loyal patients. Hence evidence based research
has increased in the recent years supporting its effectiveness.
