Palliative care proposes to improve the patient’s quality of life who is suffering from life-limiting ailments. Giving emphasis on psychological, physical and spiritual desires and combining Homoeopathy with palliative care requires unique ethical considerations. This is especially true in cases where treatment options in modern medicine are limited. Ethics focuses on autonomy of the patient, informed consent, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Based on real-world case studies and ethical frameworks, discussion is made in this article how homoeopathic interventions can complement traditional approaches by relieving symptoms, improving emotional well-being and promoting a sense of enablement in patients. But conflicts may arise from the evidence – based medicine that emphasizes the challenges such as giving hope and taking risks. By addressing these ethical principles, this article proposes for a patient-oriented, integrative approach that respects individual preferences while adhering to rigorous ethical standards. Ensuring ethical practices, it emphasizes on open communication, interdisciplinary collaboration and integrations proposing valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers in palliative care.
