What is Homeopathy? The work homeopathy is derived from the Greek "homios" meaning similar and "pathos" ;meaning suffering. The science of Homeopathy was founded in the early 1780s by a German physician and chemist, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, while doing research into the toxicological effects of the medicines of his time. Dr. Hahnemann discovered that a specific dilution of a substance would remove the symptoms that substance was capable of evoking. Through numerous experiments, he advanced the theory that "likes are cured by likes" and today it is a verified law of pharmacology; "The law of similars". For example, if one drinks too much coffee, the mind races and prevents sleep; the nervous system gets on edge and trembling may even result. A specifically prepared dilution of coffee will gently and promptly reverse these types of symptoms. Ipecac in a large dose causes nausea and vomiting. An ill person suffering from the same or similar symptoms improves after taking a specifically prepared dose of ipecac. Another example would be a cook slicing onions. The eyes will burn and water profusely and the nose, too, may water and sneezing may occur. However, someone with hay fever may suffer with those same symptoms. As you might expect, one remedy for this condition is the onion, specifically, diluted by the exact homeopathic instructions. What type of disease can Homeopathy treat? How soon can results be expected?
