Homeopathy (also called homoeopathy) is the scientific medical system based on the “Law of Similars” i.e. ‘Likes be treated by Likes’. This law states that a drug or a substance capable of producing in a healthy person a diseased – state exactly similar to that observed in a diseased person, acts as a curative agent if the disease is in a curable stage. In the incurable stage of the disease, however, the same drug acts as the best palliative. This Law of Similars was discovered by a great German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Since then the system has been verified experimentally and clinically tested to be most effective and gentle. Homeopathy is a natural medical science. The medicines are prepared from natural substances.
