Homoeopaths and Aesthetic Practice: where the law draws the line
The law around aesthetic work by registered homoeopaths in Maharashtra, where the line is drawn and where it is still open
Many homoeopaths now offer skin, hair and aesthetic services, and the law on who may do what has not been written in one place. This course reads the texts that apply to a registered homoeopath in Maharashtra: what your registration covers, the titles and boards you may use, the treatment and products that are yours, the devices and peels whose position is arguable, the injectables and procedures the texts point against, the CCMP and the case still before the Bombay High Court, working with a modern-medicine doctor, and what happens when something goes wrong. Where the position is unsettled, it says so. It teaches the law, the records and the process. It teaches no clinical technique, it does not tell any homoeopath to start or stop any service, and finishing it is not a qualification, licence or permission to offer any service.
Written by Dr. Rupal V. Rana, a medical practitioner qualified in law, in consultation with a High Court advocate. She is not a homoeopath. This course teaches the law, the records and the process; it teaches no clinical practice.

What you will be able to do when you have finished
Not what you will have heard about. What you will be able to do, on a Tuesday, with the thing in your hand.
Say what your homoeopathy registration covers in the words of the law, what the State's general medical-practice Act reaches, and set each service on your menu against it.
Check your board, profile and prescription header against the State's title rule and your own code, and say which certificates may go after your name.
Sort what you use or sell into homoeopathic medicine, cosmetic or drug, and keep claims within the advertising law.
Explain why the law has not settled whether a homoeopath may offer lasers, IPL, RF, HIFU, peels and microneedling, and why "arguable" is not a green light.
Explain why the drugs law and your own code point against injectables, threads and surgical procedures for a homoeopath without the CCMP.
State what the 2014 amendment and the High Court's interim order say, and why the CCMP questions stay open until judgment.
Map who does what in a joint clinic with a modern-medicine doctor, and who answers to the patient.
Name the routes a patient can take after a complication, and what to keep and do from the first hour.
How much of your time this takes
About 4 hours 50 minutes in total, and none of it has to be done in one sitting. The course remembers where you are, on whichever device you open it on, one device at a time.

How the course runsStart to certificate
1
Eight written modules. About twenty five minutes each, read in any order, at your own pace, on a phone or a laptop. Every legal proposition carries the case, section or regulation it rests on, so you can check it. Each module also leaves you a document you can use: a menu against registration sheet, a board and header check, a product register, a before-I-buy-the-machine sheet, a rescue-drug drill sheet, a dated CCMP status box, a joint clinic map, a first-response sheet, and a premises and records check.
2
A scored quiz at the end of each module. Five applied questions, not definitions: a situation, and what you would do. Four out of five to pass. Retake it as often as you like, and the authority is explained on every answer, right and wrong. Your best score is the one kept.
3
A final quiz across all eight modules. It opens once you have passed all eight module quizzes. Sixteen questions, two drawn from each module, twelve out of sixteen to pass. Your sixteen are not the same as anybody else’s. Retake it as often as you need.
4
A certificate of completion, issued once the eight module quizzes and the final quiz are all passed. It is signed by Dr. Rupal V. Rana, MBBS, DCH, LLB, LLM, and carries a number anyone you show it to can check on this site. It is a certificate of completion: not a diploma, not a certification, not recognised by any regulator of homoeopathy, any university or any Bar body, and it carries no continuing education credit.

About the bonus module
The bonus module is included and costs nothing extra. It covers the premises and records side of an aesthetic practice in Maharashtra: clinic and nursing home registration, bio-medical waste, patient photographs and the data protection law as it will apply. It ends with the final case drill on one fictional clinic, self-marked against model answers. It sits outside the eight: it is not in the final quiz and it is not needed for the certificate. It has its own scored quiz if you want one.
The small printEducation, not advice on your matter. Not clinical teaching. No outcome promised.
This is education, not advice on your matter. Nothing in the course is advice about any particular patient, complaint, notice or case, and reading it does not create a relationship of adviser and client.
It is not clinical teaching. No module tells you how to examine, diagnose or treat any patient, or which medicine or therapy to use. Every clinical decision mentioned in it belongs to you and your clinic, and the author is not a homoeopath. Where official guidance on a clinical subject is quoted, the source is named and it is quoted for context only. Nothing in it says that any service, procedure or product is permitted.
Nothing is promised as an outcome. No course prevents a complaint, and none of this guarantees how any forum will decide anything.
Where a matter needs a lawyer, we say so. Representation before any forum, and any formal legal opinion, is arranged separately with a High Court advocate and is charged separately.
