Advertising Policy

Homeopathy International (HINT) is committed to upholding the highest standards in healthcare advertising. Our advertising policy ensures that all promotional content displayed on our platforms aligns with our values, supports the homeopathy profession, and provides value to our members and the public.

1. Acceptable Advertising Categories

We welcome advertising from individuals, businesses, and organisations that operate ethically and are aligned with our mission. We accept advertising in the following categories:

• Homeopathy services and clinics
• Natural and complementary health products
• Education and CPD courses relevant to homeopaths
• Books, publications, and tools used in homeopathic practice
• Events, seminars, and workshops in the field of natural health
• Practice management services and professional indemnity providers
• Suppliers of remedies, tinctures, or approved dispensary services
• Technology platforms supporting healthcare professionals (e.g. telehealth, clinic software)
• Job listings or recruitment opportunities relevant to the sector

2. Advertising Standards

All adverts must:

• Be accurate, honest, and not misleading
• Comply with relevant UK law
• Avoid unsubstantiated health claims or medical guarantees
• Clearly identify any paid or sponsored content
• Respect the dignity and independence of the homeopathic profession

We reserve the right to reject or remove any advertising that:

• Contains discriminatory, offensive, or exploitative content

3. Conflicts of Interest & Perceived Endorsement

To protect the independence of our organisation and the trust of our members:

• We do not accept advertising from service providers offering services in direct competition with Homeopathy International, where a commercial conflict of interest exists.
• Advertising space will not be used in a way that could imply endorsement, certification, or partnership with HINT unless a formal agreement is in place.
• We take care to ensure that advertising does not create confusion as to whether a product or a service is provided or officially supported by Homeopathy International.

4. Approval Process

All advertising requests must be submitted for approval before publication. We may request supporting documentation or substantiation of claims. HINT reserves the right to decline any advert at our discretion and without further explanation.

5. Placement and Duration

Advertising may appear on our website, in our newsletter, or in other digital or print communications, subject to availability and relevance. Placement and duration are determined by agreement, and priority may be given to partners or members.

6. Disclaimer

Acceptance of an advertisement does not imply endorsement by Homeopathy International. We do not accept liability for the products or services advertised by third parties.
