Homeopathy is a system of medicine discovered and developed in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s by a German physician by the name of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It is a complete system of medicine that adheres to the philosophy of holism. The major principle of Homeopathy is Like Treats Like, which means that to treat a sick individual with particular symptoms, you use a remedy that producers similar symptoms in a healthy individual. Homeopathy works by stimulating the body to follow the natural healing process. Homeopathic remedies are prepared from mineral, plant and animal substances. Their high dilution renders them absolutely non-toxic. Once a remedy reaches a certain dilution, the healing power of these remedies is then purely.
Dr. John Martin Honigberger was the first person who is recognised to have brought homeopathy and the name of Hahnemann to India. Dr. Honigberger arrived at Lahore in 1829-30. The then ruler of Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, was impressed by him when he treated his favourite horse of its bad leg ulcers.

1. No side effects.
2. No suppression of symptoms for later, more vicious reappearance.
3. No dependence on diagnosis but only a dependence on symptom observation.
4. No need for laboratory trials in animals for the proving of medicines.
5. Allowance for and Dependance on a patient’s individuality.
6. Whole patient treatment.
7. Homoeopathy appears to work with the body’s own disease-combating mechanisms to effect a cure and this constitutes a most natural, humane and effective method of cure.
8. No environmental pollution.
