Homeopathy
Classical Homeopathy
Homeopathy was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann around 1796. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843), the son of a pottery painter, was born in Meissen, Germany, on April 10, 1755. His exhaustive research, teachings, and writings laid the foundation for homeopathy as a scientific and holistic system of medicine.
The word homeopathy is derived from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering), meaning "similar suffering." This principle forms the core philosophy of homeopathy: the Law of Similars—"Similia Similibus Curantur" ("Like Cures Like"). Nearly 180 years ago, Dr. Hahnemann conducted extensive experiments and verified that a substance capable of producing symptoms in a healthy individual can be used to treat a sick person exhibiting similar symptoms.
Through this meticulous approach, homeopathy emerged as a natural and individualized form of therapy, addressing the root cause of ailments rather than merely suppressing symptoms. It remains a holistic system of healing, restoring balance and well-being by stimulating the body's innate ability to heal itself.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Homeopathy is a natural, individualized therapy that seeks to identify and address the underlying causes of discomfort—whether physical, emotional, or mental. It does not merely suppress symptoms but works holistically to restore balance, vitality, and resilience. By treating the person as a whole, rather than just the disease, homeopathy promotes long-term well-being and supports the body's natural healing processes.
