Homeopathy is a medical approach with 200 years of history; along this time it demonstrated its ability to solve problems, with low cost, broad scope andun questionable social acceptance. According to estimates, approximately 500 million people use homeopathy worldwide, corresponding to about 7% of the world population. However, there are still hindrances to its integration to conventionalmedicine that need to put into perspective and removed. The aim of the present articleis to contextualize homeopathy as a science and an art in Brazil and worldwide. Weanalyzed some relevant aspects, such as profile of users, their reasons to choosehomeopathy and historical and social contexts for the inclusion of homeopathy inhealthcare and educational systems. We conclude that homeopathy is an ethicalmedical system that provides systemic and safe treatment to patients, with optimal costbenefitratio. Homeopathy should be included in universities, schools of medicine and all levels of the healthcare system, thus ensuring its historical nature as a medicalspecialty. (AU)
