Developed in the 18th century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is a scientific system of health care which activates the body's own healing process, allowing the body to heal naturally, gently and promptly. Homeopathy is a natural pharmaceutical science that uses very small or infinitesimal doses from plants, minerals and animals to activate the bodies healing system.

Homeopathy works under the premise of "like cures like" and the "Law of Similars". It sees symptoms as the body's natural reaction to fighting illness. Natural homeopathic remedies stimulate the body's own defenses thereby pushing through the symptoms rather than covering them up.

For example, if a person drinks to much coffee, they are likely to experience anxiety, the mind races, the nervous system is on edge and insomnia may result. A specifically prepared dilution of coffee will gently and promptly reverse these types of symptoms.

Ipecac taken in large doses causes nausea and vomiting. An ill person suffering from the same or similar symptoms improves after taking a specifically prepared homeopathic dose of Ipecac.

There are over 2,000 homeopathic remedies and this method of healing is used widely throughout the world.
