Abstract: The article addresses four regulatory challenges faced by practitioners of homeopathy: (1) medical practice acts, which prohibit the unlicensed practice of 'medicine;' (2) scope of practice limitations, which restrict nonmedical providers' ability to diagnose and treat disease; (3) prohibitions against 'unprofessional conduct;" and (4) malpractice rules. The article concludes with suggestions for regulatory reform.
