Abstract Stroke patients always have a physical disability. Homeopathy is one of the alternative medicine that patients can choose to rehabilitate their physical and mental symptoms together with allopathy. Researchers are interested in the characteristic and satisfaction of stroke patients on the services of homeopathy as an alternative medicine at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital, Ubon Ratchathani.

Results: Eighteen patients who attended the homeopathic clinic were mostly male (61.11%) between the ages of 60-69 years (33.33%), 40-49 years (33.33%) and had hypertension (88.89%).

Regarding satisfaction, most patients rated being satisfied or very satisfied with the service at the homeopathic clinic. The mean (?SD) of overall patient satisfaction score was 4.43 (?0.20). Eleven patients and their relatives were in-depth interviewed. From the interview, all patients knew the homeopathy from the advice of the physician working at Thai and traditional medicine clinic at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital.

As the results of homeopathic treatment, all patients were mentally improved with the better mood, not discourage and less depress. The patients showed eye contact and more interested in the environment surrounded. The information was from patients and their caregivers. Some patients were both mentally and physically improved e.g., more ability to move and take care of themselves, more tolerate against the physical forces, more effective in communication and answering the questions.
