How can this gentle medicinal system bring about such profound change in a person’s life?

Homeopathy is a holistic system of healing based upon the principle of Similars. It addresses the dynamic disharmony that gives rise to the symptoms of disease. Rather than treating each symptom in isolation, the homeopath considers the person as a whole and seeks to match the unique totality of the symptom picture observed with a homeopathic remedy. By stimulating the body’s self-regulating process, the carefully selected remedy initiates the healing response, helping the body to heal itself.

Similia Similbus Curentur ‘like cures like’

The word homeopathy is derived from the Greek, homœo ‘similar’, and pathos ‘suffering’.

Homeopathy was developed by the German physician, Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). After years of painstaking research and practice, Hahnemann confirmed the principle of cure through Similars. He realised that any substance that can bring about disease in a healthy person may be used to cure a sick person with a similar illness. While Hahnemann developed and refined the principles of homeopathy as we know them today, the healing principle of ‘like cures like’ goes back thousands of years to Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine.
