Homoeopathy

Homeopathy (also spelled homoeopathy) is a form of alternative medicine, first proposed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796, Homeopathy is the treatment of disease with a highly diluted substance that is able to provoke similar signs and symptoms in a healthy body (treatment by similars).It’s a branch of medicine based on the principle that "like cures like".



Homeopathy is a system for the treatment of illness that is based both on the recognition of patterns within the symptoms of the illness and a wider consideration of how the individual is as a person.
Although conventional medical assessment also takes these issues in to account, the homoeopathic approach integrates personality type, previous experiences, emotional state, the influence of the environment and other social factors to a greater degree than is usual with 'standard' medical practice. A homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to each patient. Homeopathic medicines (which homeopaths call remedies) are prepared by specialist pharmacies using a careful process of dilution and succussion (a specific form of vigorous shaking).
