HOMEOPATHY

The German MD physician, Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann was a medical doctor & chemist who discovered a type of alternative medicine which he termed as Homeopathy or Homoeopathy in the late 18th century. * As etymologically ‘Homois’ approach Like or Similar — ‘Pathos’ which means Suffering *. His medicine was based on the concept of “Like Cures Like”, which refers to a substance that causes symptoms in a robust person & can be used to treat alike symptoms in an ailing person. The theory behind this discovery relates to a situation where it mentions that the body has the ability to heal itself & by employing highly diluted potentized material, the body’s healing process can be stimulated.
It started when he dealt with himself with a small quantity of cinchona tree bark (quinine), which incorporates the malaria treatment. It produced the symptoms of malaria . That’s when he came up with the idea of “Like Cures Like”.
