| Sumario: | Autoimmune diseases impose a fluctuating burden of pain, disability and existential distress that often requires long-term symptom management in addition to disease-directed therapy. Homeopathy, grounded in Hahnemann's Organon and the clinical traditions of Kent, Boericke, Phatak, Bo-ger and Allen, offers a philosophically consistent approach to palliation: relieve suffering while respecting the vital force and avoiding suppressive measures. This article examines the philosophical foundations of homeopathic palliation, practical applications in common autoimmune conditions, recent methodological and scientific advances, and concrete proposals for research and integration within multidisciplinary palliative care. Emphasis is placed on individualisation, ethical clarity, symptom-directed palliation, and preserving patient dignity.
