What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that prescribes a course of therapy based upon matching the patient's symptoms to a substance in nature known to cause similar sufferings in toxic doses. Samuel Hahnemann of Germany invented homeopathy in 1790. He coined the word, "homeopathy" to mean "similar sufferings." This is taken from the Latin phrase Similibus Simillum Curenta - meaning: "let likes be cured by likes."
By knowing the toxic effects of an herb, mineral or animal fluid, homeopaths can then turn that substance into a homeopathic remedy which will then have the direct opposite effect. And because of the manner in which homeopathic remedies are made, there will be no side effects, no adverse reactions. They have been used for over 200 years in a strict and highly documented manner.
