Hahnemann coined the term homoeopathy, from the Greek words homois meaning similar and pathos meaning disease. The core principle of homeopathy is similia similibus curentur, — let likes be treated by likes. Homeopathic preparations are energetic medicines called remedies, which are free from chemical side effects. Homeopathy treats a person’s illness by stimulating their body’s natural healing power to correct illness; additionally, it strengthens resistance to this illness in the future.
Homeopathic remedies are well diluted by a process called potentization, which increases the healing power of the original substance at the same time removes toxicity. Homeopathic remedies do not produce side effects, will not interact with other medications and are not addictive forming. Homeopathy is safe for all ages including babies, elderly and even for pregnant women.
