The rational and integral practice of homeopathy requires that the medical professional explain the patient's disease and at the same time understand it, therefore, it is necessary to individualize the patient with his/her disease(s). On the other hand, homeopathic therapy has also been historically used in medical practice, in different situations and with resolution, in cases with partial similarity and use of one or more homeopathic medicines. Homeopathy has evolved over time, with clinical research carried out using validated clinical methods to assess the effectiveness and efficacy of homeopathy and which, to a certain extent, take into account the peculiarities of the homeopathic therapeutic method, with its requirement of individualized patient approach. There are many compatibilities between homeopathic and allopathic therapy and, to distinguish them, the application of two basic principles: the principle of similars and the principle of opposites. The clinical evaluation of homeopathy that considers human beings similar to each other can reasonably follow the model adopted in classic clinical studies, while in the perspective of the uniqueness of the human being, new research models are required that consider the competence of the physician, human variability and the reliability of homeopathic materia medica information sources.
