Homeopathy is a system of natural healing established in the late 18th century by the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the idea of “like cures like,” conveying the idea that substances which produce symptoms in a healthy person can, in extremely diluted form, treat similar symptoms in a sick person. This is referred to as the “Law of Similars.”
Homeopathic medicines are made through serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). The active ingredients are plant-based, mineral-based or animal-based, and they are diluted in water or alcohol -- and the liquid solute is shaken between each dilution step. This is repeated multiple times, typically until none of the original substance remains.
Homeopaths say the diluting process transmits the "vital energy" or "memory" of the substance to the remedy, which then activates the body’s natural healing powers.
Most homeopathic remedies are dispensed as sugar globules, tablets, or pellets of sucrose or lactose. These act as a medium for consumption of the highly dilute solution. The globules are then submerged in the remedy, causing the “energetic imprint” of this substance to stick to the sugar. As it is taken, the remedy communicates with the body’s energy fields, creating a gentle, whole-bodied healing response.
Homeopathy is natural and individual, with treatments as one-size does not fit all. Homeopathy is often used by those looking to support their overall health and well-being, relieve chronic conditions, or as adjunct treatment to other therapies.
Today, homeopathy has become a commonly practiced field of medicine globally. After gaining popularity in all of Europe, homeopathic practices moved throughout countries like India, Australia and Russia, soon becoming a global method of prevention and curation of different diseases and illnesses.
