Closed Increase regulation of homeopathic treatments and practitioners

Closed on

There are currently no regulations on who can practise homeopathy in the UK, no qualifications are required. Homeopathic treatments only have limited regulation, they aren't proven to work and they could even be harmful.

The Science and Technology Committee reported about the lack of evidence: https://bit.ly/3iczTBW
The Government should require that any supposed homeopathic treatment be put through the same process as all other medicinal treatments to ensure they are safe and actually do what they're supposed to. Furthermore, to be a homeopathic practitioner there should be some form of required qualification as currently there are literally no requirements.
