Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a natural, holistic system of medicine that uses highly
diluted doses of substances to stimulate the body\'s own healing
mechanism. The use of homeopathic medicines (also known as remedies) is
based on the discovery that a natural substance is capable of curing the
same symptoms it can cause. By studying the symptoms produced when a
healthy individual tests or "proves" a remedy, homeopaths can determine
which symptoms that remedy is capable of curing. This is referred to as
the Law of Similar or “like cures like.” A simple example of this
principle can be seen with the common onion. Slicing an onion can cause
symptoms of burning and watery eyes, as well as sneezing and a runny
nose. Many hay fever sufferers have found dramatic relief from their
burning, watery eyes, sneezing, and runny nose after taking the
homeopathic remedy Allium cepa (the remedy made from red onion). Thus
the substance that can cause symptoms can, as a remedy, also cure them.
References to the basic principles of homeopathy can be found in ancient
writings and in the traditions of native medicines. These principles
were re-discovered over 200 years ago by German physician Samuel
Hahnemann (1755-1843) who developed them into a science, which he called
