Patients treated by homeopaths registered with the Society of  
Homeopaths: a pilot study
C Relton, K Chatfield, H Partington and L Foulkes

Background: There is little information on the types of symptoms for  
which patients request homeopathic treatment from Society of  
Homeopaths (SoH) homeopaths in the UK.
Objectives: A preliminary study to gain information about  
characteristics of patients requesting treatment from SoH professional  
(non-medically qualified) homeopaths—including symptoms and general  
well-being.
Results: 37 homeopaths returned data on 482 patients covering 1419  
consultations over a 2 year period. Patients were mostly female and  
predominantly aged 40–59.
Conclusions: As well as obtaining preliminary data about these  
patients, this study has also resulted in greater knowledge of audit  
and research methods in the profession. The results of this  
preliminary descriptive study will inform a future, larger prospective  
controlled observational study.
