Legislative and Policy Shifts Shaping Homeopathy
By Mark Land, M.S., RAC-US, AAHP President
As we settle into 2025, opportunities should increase for natural products, including homeopathy, from a more favorable climate within government. From Capitol Hill to federal agencies, national policy and guidance impact how homeopathic medicines are regulated, marketed, and made available to consumers. As such, AAHP remains committed to keeping our members informed and ensuring homeopathic products remain accessible and compliant.
This issue of our legislative newsletter takes a closer look at the key government entities shaping the homeopathy industry. How Government Decisions Impact the Homeopathy Industry examines how Congress, federal regulatory agencies, state governments, and the White House influence policies, enforcement priorities, and market conditions. As lawmakers set healthcare agendas and regulators refine oversight, staying informed on these shifts is essential for manufacturers and stakeholders alike.
Our exclusive member-only coverage includes two reports from Washington insider Pete Evich, offering a closer look at the rapidly evolving landscape under the new administration. In Early Impact of the Trump Administration, Pete breaks down the latest appointments, including RFK Jr. leading HHS and Dr. Marty Makary on track to be the nation’s next FDA Commissioner. With major staffing cuts already underway and renewed scrutiny of regulatory agencies, Pete’s analysis helps our members understand what’s at stake for homeopathy. In Health Care/OTC Legislative Issues: What’s in Store on Capitol Hill, Pete details key Congressional dynamics and legislative priorities that could impact OTC drug regulation, including the upcoming reauthorization of the OTC Monograph Drug User Fee Act (OMUFA) and potential changes to FDA oversight.
As Congress debates healthcare priorities and key government agencies shape their agendas, our association will work to ensure homeopathic products remain accessible and well-represented in Washington. We encourage all members to read this issue carefully and take advantage of our member-exclusive articles.
