What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of alternative/complementary medicine, founded in the late 18th century by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is based on the principle of ‘like cures like’, also known as the Law of Similars. In simple terms, this means that what a substance in crude form can cause, it can cure when made into a homeopathic remedy.
» For example, coffee is known to cause sleeplessness; on the other hand, when it is made into a homeopathic remedy, coffee provides an effective treatment for sleeplessness.
» Another example, a bee sting produces redness, swelling and burning, which feels better by cold applications; any skin condition with such symptoms can be treated by the homeopathic remedy made from the bee.
