What is Homoeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine based on the belief that the body can cure itself. It was developed in Germany in the late 1700s by a physician named Samuel Hahnemann. The name comes from the Greek words hΓ³moios (“similar”) and pΓ‘thos (“suffering”)
Key Principles of Homoeopathy
1. Law of Similars
- A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
2. Individualised Treatment
- Focuses on the patient as a whole, not just the disease
