Home > 35 Interesting Facts about Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a complementary treatment measure that works on two principles- First, do not harm; second, prescribe based on the laws of Similars. So, just by taking a micro dose of a homeopathic substance, you can stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanism.

The Introduction of Homeopathy

This system of medicine has been used for centuries SINCE it was introduced by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th Century. His theory helped him discover that by combining homeopathic ingredients, patients saw great improvements in their health and recovered from chronic sicknesses.

So instead of spending many hours developing a patient’s profile and prescribing a single-ingredient treatment, as seen in the past. Doctors now embrace homeopathy as a complementary treatment that involves combining single homeopathic ingredients to target multiple organs and treat multiple symptoms at the same time.

The interesting thing is that homeopathy is safe and effective, making it so popular that many people are turning to it as a complementary treatment measure. Some even use it as their primary treatment form (But we always advise you still take advice of your GP).
