Faculty of Homeopathy
The Faculty of Homeopathy Website
The Faculty of Homeopathy was founded in 1844 in London, England, and is now a global education provider, research, and membership organisation for statutorily regulated integrative healthcare practitioners and professional homeopaths.
The organisation was originally called British Homoeopathic Society (BHS) who held their inaugural meeting on 10th April 1844. The date specifically chosen for this inaugural meeting as it was the birthday of Dr Samuel Hahnemann (the founder of homeopathic science), who died a year earlier on 2nd July 1843.
The BHS continued for 100 years until it was renamed The Faculty of Homeopathy in 1944. In 1950 the organisation was incorporated by an Act of the UK Parliament, The Faculty Of Homoeopathy Act.
The Faculty of Homeopathy is deeply honoured to have His Majesty King Charles III as their Royal Patron. As The Prince of Wales, His Majesty first became Patron of the Faculty in 2019. Following His Majesty’s ascent to the throne, His Majesty had graciously chosen to retain and continue his Patronage of the Faculty.
