What is homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy-this truly tongue twisting term, stemming from the Greek, stands for a self-contained system of therapy which gently supports the natural, regenerative healing endeavors of the organism by raising the bodys vital force to such an extent that the body overcomes the disease process and gets back to its normal, healthy self without causing any adverse side-effect.
The name Homoeopathy comes from the Greek word homios which means like and the word pathos meaning suffering . It simply means treating like with like.
In the fourth century B.C., Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, observed that large amount of certain natural substances can produce symptoms in healthy people resembling those caused by the disease, while smaller doses of these same substances can relieve those symptoms.
