Homeopathy

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician was one of the earliest person to advocate homeopathy as a treatment. Homeopathy means "similar suffering". Its basic principles include the notion encapsulated in the Latin phrase Similia similibus curentur - Like cures like".

Homeopathy is a scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of tech body to heal itself. it recognizes that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person,so it is the whole person that needs treatment, not just the disease.

According to practitioners, homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's own healing power. This power is very great and many complaints heal them selves unaided. it is only when the healing process is faulty, blocked or slowed down that homeopathic remedy is needed to act as a stimulus to the curative powers of the body.

Homeopathy is the most holistic of all alternative medicines. Homeopathy believes in the "total cure" of the person an not just the superficial symptoms of the illness.
