About HRI

The Homeopathy Research Institute is an innovative international charity created to address the need for high quality scientific research in homeopathy.

HRI is dedicated to the evaluation of homeopathy, using the most rigorous scientific methods available and communicating the results of such work beyond the usual academic circles. We use our resources and expertise to foster new projects and to improve the quality of research being carried out in the field.

HRI is a team of passionate individuals committed to raising the bar. We believe that homeopathy research is deserving of the attention of sharp minds. We are interested in all aspects of the field – exploring the mechanism of action of homeopathic remedies, clinical studies (including quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches), provings, lab-based work and veterinarian applications.
