Homeopathic

Homeopathy (homeopathic medicine) comes from the Greek word homeo (similar) and pathos (suffering or disease). It is a total health care system that can therapeutically effect a wide range of diseases and dysfunctions.

In the 18^th century, the system was founded by German physicist Samuel Christian Hahnemann and is subsequently followed by other doctors. Homeopathy is often used for wellness, prevention and cure of many diseases and conditions. This article provides a general summary of homeopathy including its uses and importance in humans.

The main principle behind homeopathy based on the following:

• “Law of Similars” (like cures like) - the patient is treated with exceptionally small dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate symptoms of his condition.
• “Law of Infinitesimal Dose” (law of minimum dose)—the lower the medication dose, the greater its effectiveness.
• “The Single Remedy”-no matter how many symptoms are experienced, only one medicine is taken, and that medicine will be intended at all those symptoms.
