HOMOEOPATHY

About:

• The World Homoeopathy Day is observed every year on April 10, to commemorate the birth anniversary of the founder of Homoeopathy, Christian Fredrich Samuel Hahnemann.
  
  
• Homeopathy is an alternative medical system that was developed in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann in Germany.
  
  
• The name homeopathy is derived from the Greek words for ‘similar suffering’ referring to the ‘like cures like’ principle of healing.
  
  
• Its key 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.
