Homoeopathic medical treatment was started by a German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843 A.D), and is based on the premise that the symptoms of a disease are evidence of a curative process going on in the body in response to the disease. The Homoeopathy physician further attempts to promote the further development of these systems in order to accelerate the body’s Self-cure. Over the years Homoeopathy has become an integral part of the Indian way of life and because of its remarkable healing capacity and partly to the low cost of medicines involved, it is widely used by a large segment of Indian population. “Similia similibus” - “Like cures like” is the guiding principle of Homoeopathy. In practice this means that a drug which is capable of producing a certain set of symptoms in a healthy body, when taken in large physiological doses, will relive or cure a similar set of symptoms in the diseased organisim when it is given in small homoeopathic doses. If the remedy is well choosen, the very first homoeopathic aggravation will be followed by speedy readjustment.
