Homeopathy is a scientific system of medicine which was successfully known for the past 200 years. Homeopathy was founded by Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann M.D. Homeopathy works on the principle known as the Law of Similars - the idea that like cures like. Homeopathy is based on Hahnemann`s discovery that a natural substance is capable of curing the same symptoms that it can cause in healthy persons during proving. It considers the totality of symptoms as a whole to treat patient and homeopathy also individualizes the patient. Homeopathy treats underlying weaknesses and susceptibilities to the disease process by assessing through an interview process the state of one's mental, emotional and physical well being. Homeopathy is compatible with and never interferes with most orthodox, complementary or alternative medical treatments, so one may, depending upon circumstances, choose to utilize the benefits of more than one discipline.
