Homeopathy Medicine
Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself. Homeopathy was founded in the late 1700s in Germany and has been widely practiced throughout Europe. Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health.
There are three main principles behind the practice of homeopathic medicine.
​
-
The law of similars: The law of similars refers to the "like cures like" theory noted above.
-
The principle of the single remedy: This principle holds that a single remedy should cover the physical, emotional, and mental symptoms of an illness combined.
-
The principle of the minimum dose: Only a small amount of substance is first used in a few doses, followed by an infinitesimal amount over time.
