Homeopathy is a medicinal science founded and developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), who was a German physician. Its basic principle is that “like cures like”. Meaning that any substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy individual is capable of curing them in a sick individual. This concept is referred to as the “Law of Similars”, which was well understood in Roman and Greek times by Aristotle and Hippocrates as well as in ancient Hindu texts. However, it was Hahnemann who turned it into a medicinal healing modality.
