Homeopathy is a therapeutic system of medicine developed by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, in the early 1800’s.  Classical Homeopathy is based on the law of similars— similia, similibus, curentur, or, let like be cured by like.  Hahnemann’s Organon of the Medical Art represents the first real treatise on holistic healing: It defines"illness" as any condition that limits freedom, and the genuine practitioner of the Medical Art of Homeopathy as someone whose “high and only mission is to restore the sick to health … in the shortest, most reliable and most harmless way.”    

Homeopathy literally means "similar suffering". What produces symptoms in a healthy person cures the same illness in a sick person. Classical homeopaths prescribe one remedy at a time. Unlike conventional medicine (allopathy), homeopathy recognizes that each person is unique; for example, one person’s arthritis is different from another’s.  Homeopathy treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. All levels of being —physical, emotional, mental—are viewed within one therapeutic ideal.   Homeopathy was successfully used against the cholera and typhoid epidemics in Europe in the early 1800's, and against yellow fever and the 1918 influenza epidemic in the United States.

Homeopathic remedies are mainly derived from mineral, plant and animal sources. These remedies are prepared in homeopathic laboratories by a special potentization process following the guidelines originally presented by Hahnemann. Classical homeopathy adheres to the principle of the minimum dose and the use of a single remedy at a time.

While homeopathy enjoys popular support in many countries, it almost disappeared in the United States in the 1920s, due largely to the efforts of the pharmaceutically controlled medical establishment.  Today, however, more and more people are turning to this safe, non-toxic alternative form of treatment. Now that many people are searching for fundamental answers to the expanding health problems in our modern society, homeopathy is able to offer a solution to many of these problems as a comprehensive, holistic approach to health care. Two hundred years of clinical experience have proven homeopathy to be extremely effective in dealing with many aspects of first aid problems as well as acute and chronic illness.
