Current requirements for standardization of homeopathic raw materials and substances

Abstract

The article considers modern requirements for standardization of homoeopathic raw material and substances. The study included the analysis of a range of raw materials of plant, animal, mineral and chemical origin, which are used for the production of homeopathic substances. The article describes basic ways of processing raw material for producing homeopathic substances and basic principles of the quality control of raw materials in different countries. It was revealed that there was a difference in the composition of substances used under the same name, as well as in methods of preparation of homeopathic substances. The authors formulated the main approaches to standardization of homoeopathic raw material that were used in the elaboration of monographs on homeopathic products for the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation.
