Research

Selected scientific publications, studies and reviews from Greece and abroad.

Research and scientific dialogue

At the Hippocratic Centre of Classical Homeopathy we consider it important for students and practitioners to engage with the current research literature on homeopathy.

For this reason, this section brings together and presents selected scientific publications, studies and literature reviews from Greece and abroad, to inform, to support study and to cultivate scientific thinking.

International research on homeopathy spans different fields and research approaches.

This section hosts publications on, among other things, clinical research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, basic and laboratory research, as well as studies on education and clinical practice.

Presenting this literature aims to give access to scientific sources and to encourage a critical study of the available research data.

The four publications below are demo entries, chosen to show the layout of this page.

Laboratory research

Reproducibility of effects of homeopathically potentised gibberellic acid on the growth of Lemna gibba L. in a randomised and blinded bioassay

Homeopathy · 2014 · 103(2): 113–126

Randomised, blinded bioassay

The study tried to reproduce an earlier finding on the effect of potentised gibberellic acid (14x–30x) on the growth rate of the duckweed Lemna gibba, in three series of blinded, randomised experiments and three series of negative-control experiments. A statistically significant effect appeared only in the series with gibbous (swollen) plants, in a different direction and at different potency levels than in the original study. The authors suggest that future reproducibility studies take the physiological state of the test organism into account.
