Homeopathy is a holistic therapeutic medical science based upon the teachings of Hahnemann. The primary precept, "The Law of Similars", is used to treat children, adults and animals, using minute doses of potentize substances from the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms.
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann of Germany, is the founder of Homeopathic Medicine, born in 1755 and died at the age of 89 in 1843.
He was a humanitarian, and he could see his patients suffering. Disillusioned he stopped practicing "western medicine" and started practicing Homeopathy. He devoted his life to others, to try & heal the sick from their illness. He was ridiculed for this his whole life. But in his heart he knew this is the right thing to do. He was truly a pioneer. Patients would be lined up out side his house every day, because the community & surrounding cites & even countries knew that he could help most any one. Even royalty came to him, & sometimes he traveled to them.
But Hahnemann was not the first to have this concept of ?Like Cures Like?
Paracelsus 1493-1541 was a precursor for Homeopathy, as he believed that "like cures like".
Hippocrates 400 BC who was the grandfather of medicine said, "Through the like disease is produced and through the application of like is cured".
The Law of similars is what Homeopathy is based on. It is derived from a Greek work
Homoeo = Similar
Pathos Suffering
Western medicine is know as Allopathic Medicine
Allo = Opposite
Both of these early thinkers had similar thoughts that if you were to give the body something similar to what it already has it will stimulate the body's own immune system back to well being.
But throughout the centuries Dr. Samuel Hahnemann was the only one to follow in their thought of ?Like cures Like?.
Homeopathic remedies have demonstrated their remarkable power to help overcome illness, prevent disease and improve heath on a fundamental level.
Simply put, the purpose of using a homeopathic medicine is to stimulate the body, mind, vital force and immune system to heal itself on all levels of healing, physical, mental and emotional.
We have over 200 years of scientific backing of how these remedies work, nothing is recalled, and they do not have a long list of harmful side effects. Homeopathy is a tried and true method of healing people who experience a wide range of acute, chronic and even hereditary ailments. It is one of the safest medicines to take.
The 4th leading cause of death in the US today is by given the wrong medicine.
Homeopathy has no side effects, it is non-addictive, not harmful in any way, and it's very safe for pregnant women and infants as well as children and adults.
Homeopathy looks at the totality of the person, their physical, emotional and mental states and based on all what the patient has told them, a homeopath will choose a remedy according to homeopathic principals.
