• Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that treats the person as a whole rather than just the symptoms. It was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician.

  • Homeopathy works on the principle of "like cures like". This means that a substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can treat those same symptoms in a sick person when it is prepared in a highly diluted form.

  • Homeopathic remedies can be made from various substances such as plants, minerals, and animals. They are prepared using a process called potentization, involving a dilution and succussion (shaking) process, which makes them safe and effective.

  • Homeopathic practitioners diagnose a patient's condition by taking their case history. They then identify the underlying cause of the symptoms, and prescribe a suitable remedy based on the principle of "like cures like".
