In the face of the global crisis of antimicrobial resistance far more attention needs to be paid to how medicinal systems such as homeopathy and herbal medicine can play a significant role in combating the crisis and protecting the power of antibiotics for when then are truly needed.

As far as homeopathy is concerned existing evidence from RCTs and observational studies shows it can potentially have a frontline role to play in preventing and treating infectious illness.

More centrally funded research is now needed to show how homeopathy can effectively play a role in the future prevention and treatment of infectious illness thereby helping prevent antimicrobial resistance and preserving antibiotic effectiveness.
