A German scientist, Hahnemann first demonstrated that homeopathy could be used as a natural method of therapy in 1806. He found that any substance that produced symptoms of illness in a healthy individual could also produce curative effects in a sick person. He stated that what a substance can cause, it can cure.


He found that the closer the similarity between the physical symptoms of the remedy and the drug picture (the symptoms that the drug produces in a healthy person), the better the healing effect. When given the right remedy, the vital force within the person was restored. In a sick human body, this vital force becomes temporarily unsound by the illness. At this juncture, by introducing a similar affliction into the body, it is able to return to a normal healthy state.


The aim of homoeopathy is to provide a rapid, gentle and safe method of treatment and cure, to restore a sense of health and well being on the mental and emotional levels as well as the physical. It is equally effective in dealing with long-term chronic ailments and acute illnesses like 'flu' viruses, coughs and colds Homeopathic remedies, while being profoundly powerful when correctly prescribed, are highly diluted, and therefore utterly bereft of harmful side effects. They have their initial reaction at the primary level of disturbance, the energy level or vitality, and stimulate the natural self-healing processes to restore order in the way most beneficial to the individual.
