Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses ultra dilute ‘micro doses’ made from substances found in nature. The Homeopathic Practitioner expertly matches a medicine to a patient’s individualized symptom picture following a special rule of nature known as ‘The Law of Similars’. This law states that “like cures like”, or that a medicine can cure a sick person if it can cause ‘similar’ symptoms in a healthy person. The term ‘homeopathy’ is derived from the Greek words homeos meaning ‘similar’ and pathos meaning ‘disease’ or ‘suffering’. Thus, homeopathy is to ‘treat with a medicine that produces an effect similar to the disease or suffering.’ The Law of Similars has been known since at least the time of Hippocrates, but it was Hahnemann who fully stated the principles of homeopathic prescribing in the early 1800s. By 1900, about 20% of doctors in North America were Homeopaths, but due to various political and social changes, homeopathy lost popularity on this continent. There is a wide acceptance of homeopathy in such countries as France, Germany, Argentina, India and Great Britain. In fact, the family physician to Queen Elizabeth is a Homeopath.
