Homeopathy
Concept of Homeopathy has been well known to ancient healers since 4th century BCE as it was taught by Hippocrates and others as a curative practice. There are two ways of curing a disease by using law of similar which is what Homeopathy is based on and by using law of contrary which is what the Allopathy is based on.German physician, linguist and a chemist Samuel Hahnemann has been rightfully credited for being a father of homeopathy in the early 18th century. Homeopaths treat his work “The Organon of the Healing Art” with utter respect and reverence.
He was the first one to systematically conduct controlled provings of naturally occurring substances on healthy people, where he observed that in higher concentration these substances caused symptoms that were of the diseases, but in lower concentration they cured the similar symptoms in sick people.
He and his colleagues then studied and noted down the healing properties of these substances and compiled a list of in-depth remedy information in 'Materia Medica'. He was the first one to prove the healing effects of cinchona bark in malaria. Since Hahnemann's time lot of provings have been done and new remedies have been added in the Material Medica. This effort continues to grow; thanks to all the dedicated homeopaths all around the globe.
Homeopathy remedies are made from variety of plants, animals, minerals, organic and inorganic material. Since 1938 homeopathic remedies have been FDA approved. The guidelines for the remedies are found in the official guide, the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.
Homeopathic remedies are non-invasive , non-synthetic and are administered in ,much diluted doses hence very rarely have side effects. Homeopathic remedies are used as a tool to remove impediment to a person's health thus by allowing the body's own ability to heal itself.
