One of the most essential functions of the LMHI is its role as the guardian and preserving institution of the timeless qualities of homeopathy. The LMHI achieves this goal by promulgating excellent Homeopathic Medical Education Standards and by encouraging all schools and homeopathic medical associations worldwide and all of their members to provide the best possible homeopathic education to their members. For this purpose, the LMHI adopted the LMHI-ECH Curriculum at the International Council Meeting in Warsaw 2009. This document presents the minimum standards of education and training in homeopathic medicine for medical doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians and dentists, agreed by all homeopathic training centers worldwide. This document provides the training requirements for a safe and effective practice of medical homeopathy and outlines the syllabus for examinations leading to a qualification in homeopathic medicine. This document also provides the basis for the accreditation by the LMHI of courses taught by organizations affiliated to the LMHI. The Education WG evaluates, together with the Executive Committee, the accreditation applications received from institutions that want the LMHI recognition
This group publishes the e-newsletter Spotlight three to four times a year, featuring the most relevant news about the work of the LMHI and homeopathy worldwide. It is addressed to both members and the general public. This group also publishes the academic journal The Homoeopathic Physician exclusively for members, twice a year. This journal contains reviewed articles that follow the principles of classical Hahnemannian homeopathy.
The group is working on the different aspects of pharmaceutical matters: such as
the relationship between homeopathic physician and pharmacist, the problem of
expiring dates of homeopathic remedies, the definition of a homeopathic remedy
and the analysis of the various homeopathic pharmacopoeias. The results have
been presented as lectures during LMHI congresses or have been published. A
statement on homeopathic pharmaceutics was also prepared for LMHI.
The Pharmacy WG has worked out the definition of homeopathic medicine, which was
approved by the LMHI International Council in the meeting in South Africa 2018:
"A homeopathic medicine has been prepared according to homeopathic
pharmaceutical techniques, it has been proved upon healthy beings and it is
prescribed according to the principles of homeopathy."
This group gives support to our members and LMHI on political strategies, helping our members to counter attacks against Homeopathy. It also collects funds and donations for our solidarity projects. It consist of several sub-WG with participation from different Working Groups: a. Website / young colleagues / attacks against Homeopathy / press release team/ politic / contact with the WHO / fund raising b. Solidarity and Co-operation: The goal is to help countries with difficulties, by offering political and educational support.
The Scientific Framework of Homeopathy is a joint publication of the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI), the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, India, and the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH). A revised edition was produced after the 70th LMHI Congress in July 2015 (Rio, Brazil). Its aim is to consider all important aspects of homeopathic practice, education, and research including ethical questions and the status of Homoeopathy in different countries. This provides readers with an overview of the Homoeopathic system throughout in the world and should be the main reference for answers to questions often raised about Homoeopathy. The document is being constantly updated with the emerging information in different areas.
Homeopathic drug proving forms the bedrock of our homeopathic materia medica and is essential to the development of the science of homeopathy and the art of cure by similars. Over the decades, a number of methodologies and protocols have evolved. Not all of these have met the ethical and legal requirements of the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH-GCP Guidelines and other imperatives of clinical research on human subjects. Since 2013 the LMHI Provings WG has been actively engaged with the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) Sub-committee for Provings, in the development and refinement of the Harmonized Guidelines for Homeopathic Provings (2014) which seeks to provide a single international reference for homeopaths, researchers and regulators on the essential components and parameters of an ethical, scientifically-rigorous and reliable homoeopathic drug proving. The Provings WG considers the possibility of conducting multicentric studies in various countries.
Apart from these WG there are other special committee's integrated by members of the main WGs or with their respected special committee secretaries :
