Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine based on the principle of “like cures like.” It was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. Homeopathy suggests that substances which cause symptoms in healthy individuals can, in very small doses, treat similar symptoms in someone who is ill. The idea is that a remedy that mimics the illness in a healthy person can stimulate the body’s natural healing processes when used in a diluted form.
What is homeopathic medicine?
Homeopathic Medicine refers to the remedies used in this practice, which are prepared through a process of serial dilution and shaking, known as potentization. The active ingredient in homeopathic medicines is diluted so much that, in many cases, none of the original substance may remain. These remedies are typically made from natural substances, including plants, minerals, and animal products.
