What does a homeopathy doctor do?
A homeopathy doctor treats patients using homeopathic medicine. They take a detailed case history, analyse it, select the individualised remedy and potency, and follow the patient closely, adjusting treatment by response. They run OPD for acute and chronic complaints, advise on lifestyle, keep case records and refer to modern medicine when a condition needs it.
What qualification do you need to be a homeopathy doctor?
You need a BHMS degree, a bachelor of homeopathic medicine and surgery, from a recognised college, followed by registration with the state homeopathy board. Postgraduate study helps for senior consultant roles. The registration allows lawful homeopathic practice, and experience builds the detailed case-taking and remedy-selection skill that good homeopathy depends on.
What is the difference between a homeopathy doctor and an Ayurveda doctor?
A homeopathy doctor holds a BHMS degree and treats with homeopathic remedies chosen by individualised case taking. An Ayurveda doctor holds a BAMS degree and treats with Ayurvedic diagnosis, herbal medicines and therapies such as panchakarma. Both are registered practitioners in their own systems, each with distinct principles, training and prescribing methods.
