Homeopathy is an alternative medicine system that began in 1796 by German physician Samuel Hahnemann.

The basic principle of homeopathy is “similar treat similar”, where a substance that would cause certain symptoms in a healthy person is used to cure the same symptoms in a sick person.

Furthermore, it is also very focused on treating the cause and not the symptoms.

This causes treatment to take place on a holistic level.
