John Saxton, President of the Faculty of Homeopathy, said: “The inclusion of therapeutic indications on the labels of over-the-counter homeopathic medicines will make homeopathy more accessible to the public, allowing people to select remedies for minor acute, self-limiting ailments such as nausea, headache, skin conditions and digestive complaints. This is a step in the right direction for those who believe in the importance of patient choice.”
