Abstract
The aim of this project is to develop a common homeopathic terminology to improve
communication. A questionnaire was sent by email to an international group of experts.
As a result of an iterative process we propose that a number of terms which are inaccurate,
unclear or have become outdated should be replaced by new terms. The main areas in
which terminology should be updated are: concepts relating to: homeopathic pharmacology,
research, homeopathic medicine, the principle of similarity, homeostasis and disease
imitation, miasms, experimental homeopathy, provings and pathogenic trials.
Keywords
terminology - semantics - communication - correction - clarification
