What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is based on a natural phenomenon of healing which is now commonly referred to as “like cures like.” Classical healers have known this basic principle of “like cures like” throughout history. Hippocrates (460 – 350 B.C.), regarded as the “father of medicine,” who authored the Hippocratic oath, wrote, “By similar things a disease is produced and through the application of the like, is cured.” Aristotle (384 – 322B.C.) knew the principle as well, and wrote, “Often the simile acts upon the simile.”  Samuel Hahnemann simply followed in the footsteps of these great scientists and said, “Like cures like,” (or traditionally in Latin, “Similia similibus curentur”).
