- Homeopathic Practitioners and Resources
- ---------------------------------------
-
- For referrals to licensed health care professionals who provide homeopathic
- care, call the National Center for Homeopathy at 703-548-7790 (or the other
- organizations listed below with referrals).
-
- To practice homeopathy legally in this country, one must be a licensed
- health care practitioner (i.e., MD, osteopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist,
- etc.). That license, however, does not say anything about the
- practitioner's abilities or affiliations as a homeopath. There are a few
- states that have homeopathic (or non-allopathic) licensing boards;
- apparently there is also a board certification from one of the national
- homeopathic organizations.
-
- As with any health care professional, it is important to research your
- choice of practitioner to determine his/her suitability to your case. I
- recommend at the least an interview and a request for references. The NCH
- has affiliated study groups; I've been told that contacting the local study
- groups is a good way to check on the local practitioners.
