Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann based on his doctrine of “like cures like”, which holds that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure the like in sick people.

Homeopathy is an alternative medicine based on the theory of treating ‘like with like’. Homeopathy claims to stimulate healing responses to diseases by administering substances that mimic the symptoms of those diseases in healthy people. The effectiveness of homeopathic preparations is disputed within medical science.
