What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that has been used worldwide for over two hundred years. It was founded by the German physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann in 1796.

Homeopathy is based on the historical principle of 'like cures like' (Similia Similibus Curantur). This describes the tradition behind homeopathic practice; it is not a guarantee of results for any health condition.

Homeopathic products may be prepared from plant, mineral, and animal sources, commonly through repeated dilution and shaking. It is important to check product ingredients and quality before use.

Homeopathic treatment considers the patient as a whole — physical symptoms, mental state, lifestyle, and individual characteristics. This is why different patients with the same condition may receive different remedies.

Before using any health product, consider age, medical history, and current medicines. Seek qualified advice and do not stop prescribed treatment without consulting a registered medical professional.
