What Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis does

Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI), founded in Rotterdam in 1925, is an international non-profit medical organization representing licensed homeopathic physicians in more than 70 countries. Its statutory seat is located at the historic Hahnemann House in Köthen (Anhalt), Germany, where it has been domiciled since March 2013, with a correspondence office in Alsancak, Izmir, Turkey. The organization received formal non-profit status from the German tax authorities in Sachsen-Anhalt in August 2013, enabling tax-deductible international donations.

LMHI's core offerings include an annual rotating World Homeopathy Congress (78th in Utrecht, Netherlands in 2025; 79th in Mérida, Mexico in 2026), the LMHI Library digital repository, the Members Directory covering 3,739 members, scientific publications including The Homeopathic Physician journal and the jointly authored Scientific Framework Homeopathy (with ECH and CCRH), and the LMHI-ECH Proving Guideline standardizing homeopathic pathogenetic trials. It also runs institutional programs such as Accreditation of Schools, Mentorship, Book Project, and Solidarity, an active webinar series, and a COVID-19 mobile app launched in 2021. Governance is via an elected Executive Committee led by President Dr. Altunay Agaoglu and a National Vice President network spanning 70+ countries.

LMHI operates a membership-based business model funded by annual individual, associate, institutional, and supporter membership dues; congress registration fees, sponsorships, and exhibition revenue; and tax-deductible international donations supporting homeopathic research and projects. Customer segments are individual licensed homeopathic physicians, students, educational institutions, and lay supporters. The organization holds the only recognized European standard (EN 16872:2016) for medical doctors with homeopathy qualification and is the sole world umbrella organization for licensed homeopathic physicians, with formal recognition from the World Health Organization and strategic partnerships including WONCA, ECH, CCRH, and the Hahnemann Society.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Hahnemann Society (Verein zur Förderung der Homöopathie): Germany-based foundation that restored and operates Hahnemann House, LMHI's statutory seat. Comparable as a homeopathy-focused non-profit with cultural, educational, and membership dimensions, and a direct partner in the LMHI Hahnemann House arrangement.
• Homeopathy Research Institute (HRI): UK-based charity dedicated to promoting high-quality research in homeopathy. Comparable to LMHI's research-dissemination and education mission around scientific framework, and increasingly a parallel voice in setting the global research agenda for homeopathy.

Direct peers

• Faculty of Homeopathy (UK): UK-based professional body for doctors, dentists, and veterinary surgeons practicing homeopathy. Comparable to LMHI in physician-only membership, training pathways, and standards focus, and overlaps with LMHI in advocacy and research dissemination.
• European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH): Regional European umbrella for homeopathic physicians' associations; co-develops the Scientific Framework Homeopathy and Proving Guidelines with LMHI. Highly comparable as a peer-and-partner professional body representing homeopathic MDs across multiple European countries.
• Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH): Indian government body under the Ministry of AYUSH coordinating research in homeopathy. Co-publisher of the Scientific Framework Homeopathy with LMHI; comparable as a research-and-standards organization serving homeopathic physicians and an institutional counterparty with national scale.
• Society of Homeopaths: UK professional body for homeopaths (broader scope than physicians only). Comparable as a peer professional association offering membership, training standards, and advocacy, and active in the same global homeopathy ecosystem LMHI coordinates.
• American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH): The oldest national homeopathic medical physicians' organization in the US (founded 1844). Directly comparable to LMHI as a professional society for homeopathic MDs, operating at a national level with advocacy, education, and standards-setting roles similar to LMHI's global scope.
• British Homeopathic Association: Long-established UK charity promoting homeopathy, including physician education and research grants. Overlaps with LMHI in advocacy, member engagement, and congress-style educational activity, though it focuses on a single country.

Broad incumbents

• WONCA (World Organization of Family Doctors): Global professional body for family physicians. LMHI partnered with WONCA to form a Special Interest Group on Integrative Medicine; comparable as a global physician association and a strategic institutional counterpart, though not a homeopathy specialist.

Regional players

• Homeopathic Medical Association of India (HMAI): National Indian professional association for homeopathic practitioners with significant membership and event activity. Regionally relevant to LMHI as a member of the global homeopathy community and a key counterpart for Indian policy engagement, but limited to a single country.
