- Wear homeopathy up your sleeves, face, back...eat drink and sweat homeopathy in short be an evangelist
- Groom, Encourage and Help young homeopathic doctors to kick start their careers
- Educate lay people and choose them as your brand ambassadors.
- It is said that homeopathy survived these years because of the famous (like the Queen of England) and the Intelligentsia (like Mahatma Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw, Rabindranath Tagore). So it is a good idea to educate them and prove your mettle to them too,

is it a popularity contest? Perhaps we already see this trend changing. The movement towards alternative medicine now booming, includes homeopathy. Just a matter of education, experience and time.

In my opinion Homeopathy has it's due place in medical sciences.Numerous surveys over the past 150 plus years have confirmed that people who seek homeopathic treatment tend to be considerably more educated than those who don't . What is not as well known is the fact that homeopathic medicine is the leading "alternative" treatment used by physicians in Europe...and growing numbers of the citizenry.
And despite homeopathy's impressive popularity in Europe, it is actually even more popular in India where over 100 million people depend solely on this form of medical care . Further, according to an A.C. Neilsen survey in India, 62 percent of current homeopathy users have never tried conventional medicines and 82 percent of homeopathy users would not switch to conventional treatments.
The entire field of "alternative and complementary medicine" was so hot in the 1980s that, according to a respected market survey, the field of alternative and complementary medicine in Europe was second only to the computer industry for growth during this decade . This explosion of interest in natural medicine has continued in the 21st century.
In 1998, homeopathy was the most frequently used CAM therapy in five out of 14 surveyed countries in Europe and among the three most frequently used CAM therapies in 11 out of 14 surveyed countries . Three out of the four Europeans know about homeopathy and of these people 29 percent use it for their own health care. In other words, approximately 100 million Europeans use homeopathic medicines .
The sales of homeopathic and anthroposophical medicines grew by 60 percent between 1995 and 2005, from 590 million Euros in 1995 to 775 million Euros in 2001 and to $930 million Euros in 2005 . Because of homeopathy's impressive and growing popularity in Europe, this alternative treatment poses a significant threat to conventional medicine, which may explain why there are ongoing efforts to attack it (and homeopaths) using devious and questionably ethical means.

The Homoeopaths like HWC members are sufficient to popularize Homoeopathy.
