What is Homoeopathy?


Homoeopathy is a healing therapy with a holistic approach. Homoeopathy is both- scientific as well as artistic mode of treatment. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann MD-Medicine (1755-1843), of Germany discovered it in 1796. The word “Homoeo” means “similar” and “pathy” means “suffering.” So, it can be described as a remedy that is a kin to malady. In this case, poisonous substances are availed of to cure poisonous diseases. Dr. Hahnemann and his followers performed very many experiments on their own selves to have a personal experience of the effect of various plants, chemicals, diseased substances etc.
