What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself. Homeopathy was introduced in 1789 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor and chemist. The word “homeopathy” is derived from two Greek words that mean “similar suffering.” It is based on the pharmaceutical principle called the law of similars. Homeopathic medicine embraces a holistic, natural approach to the treatment of the sick. Homeopathy is holistic because it treats the person as a whole, rather than focusing on a diseased part or a labeled sickness. Homeopathy is natural because its remedies are produced from natural sources, whether vegetable, mineral, or animal in nature. Some commonly known homeopathic remedies that you may know are, St. John’s Wort, chamomile, calcium carbonate and potassium. Homeopathy is used to maintain health and treat a wide range of long-term illnesses such as:

• Allergies
• Minor Injuries
• Muscle Strains and Sprains
• Digestive Issues
• Arthritic Issues
• Stress and Anxiety

Examples of substances that can be used in homeopathic medicine are:

• Activated charcoal
• Vinegar
• Garlic
• Various dried or fresh herbs
• Caffeine
