Abstract: The current research examines numerous studies that consider the role of homoeopathy as an immunological modulator. Both homoeopathy and immunology are theoretically related. Homoeopathy is clearly useful in increasing immune responses in illnesses ranging from allergies to neoplasms. Homoeopathic treatment has been shown to have stimulatory and co stimulatory effects in immunological processes such as haematological parameters such as total and differential leukocyte count proliferation, haemoglobin count with hematopoietic parameters such as bone marrow cellularity, inflammatory processes, CRP value, phagocytises, fibrosis, CD4+ & CD8+ count as well as a boost in immunoglobulin tit Several research studies indicate that homoeopathic immunotherapy has an immunological modulator impact on endogenous molecules such as thymulin, cytokines, histamines, and immunoglobulins (endoisotherapy). Homoeopathic preparations derived from common allergens, influenza agents, Leptospirosis, Tuberculosis, Vibrio parahemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus, and cancer cells have also been shown to be useful in eliciting an immune modifying response. Homoeopathic medications affect the immune system by altering gene expression, stimulating macrophages, chemo taxis of polymorph nuclear cells, and producing cytokines.
