About:

  • Homeopathy is an alternative medical system that was developed in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann in Germany.

  • Its underlying theories are as follows:
    • Like cures like: A substance taken in small amounts will cure the same symptoms it causes if taken in large amounts.

    • Law of minimum dose: The lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness.

    • Homeopathy treats each person as a unique individual. Treatments are “individualized” or tailored to each person.
