Homeopathy, developed in XVIIIth Century by German Doctor Samuel Hahnemann is a system of Medicine, based on the Theory that "Like cure Like" and is one of the most popular Complementary Medical Therapies. According to the theory of Homeopathy, the Body is integrated by a "Vital Force", which maintains it in a state of Health. If this Force is put under strain, Illness can result. Symptoms of Illness are seen by Homeopathic Doctor es as signs that the body is using its natural powers of self-healing to fight back. Homeopathic Medical Treatment seeks to stimulate this self-healing process rather to suppress symptoms. Homeopathic Remedies are made of herbal, mineral and other natural material and highly diluted. According to homeopathic Theory - more diluted Remedies are more Potent.

HISTORY OF HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy derives from the Greek homos for Similar and pathos for suffering.
The principle like can cure like is the basis of Homeopathy dates back to the Greek Physician Hippocrates in the 5th century BC. He believed that the patients own powers of healing are essential to choosing an appropriate cure and should be encouraged. Hippocrates had a collection of several hundred remedies and was the first person to think that disease is the result of natural forces, not divine influences.
During the 1st to 5th centuries AD Romans made great advances in medicine and increases the knowledge and understanding of the structure and function of the human body. During the dark Ages in Europe, after the decline of the Roman Empire, there was little medical advancement until the early 16th century. At this time the work of the Swiss doctor Paracelsus was greatest achievements. He believed, that plants and minerals contained active ingredients that could be prescribed to match an illness.


Paracelsus also believed that a poisonous substance that causes disease could also cure the disease, if given in very small doses, and that physicians should take into account the body's own natural ability to heal itself. In the late 18th century, Samuel Hanemann, a German Physician and Founder of Homeopathy, became frustrated with conventional invasive medical techniques and developed Homeopathy. As a Professional Doctor and Chemist, Samuel Hahnemann carried out his experiments and proving, testing a wide range of natural sources, such as plants, minerals, metals, etc. He had rediscovered the principle of like can cure like, and his work would bring about the establishment of a new system of medicine. Homeopathy was introduced to North America in 1826 and quickly gained enormous popularity in Canada and the United States.
Human Nature is such that it is always easier to take a pill than to change a way of life. Most People want quick solutions with minimum of fuss and effort. We already have too many environmental factors that may be hazardous to health: saturated fats, food additives, nitrates, toxic metals, ozone depletion, radiation and so on. At the deepest level, Homeopathy is first of all preventive in intent.
