What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy was developed in the late 18th century by Dr.Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor. The basic principle of homeopathy is “like cures like”
The idea that like cures like can be traced back to Hippocratic writings. Hippocrates (460-377 BC), ‘Father of Medicine’ speaks of two diverse principles of treating diseases. One is Contraria Contrariis Curantur (Latin) which means opposites are cured by opposites. This principle teaches to treat disease by using remedies that produce opposite effects. The other principle is the Similia Similibus Curentur (Latin), which means let ‘Likes’ be treated by ‘likes’. It was Hahnemann who developed this similia principle into a system of medicine.
The word ‘Homeopathy’ is derived from two Greek words hómoios (similar) and páthos (suffering). This means in Homeopathy natural diseases are treated with substances that produce effects similar to the suffering.
The homeopathic medicines preparation involves a variety of sources, including plants, animals, minerals, and other natural substances. Preparations follow guidelines from international pharmacopeias, using a standard method called potentisation. Potentisation is the process which comprises successive dilutions of ingredients and successions (vigorous shaking) to raise the inherent healing power of the drugs to maximum
