Homeopathy medicine is a medical art invented by Doctor Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician (1755- 1843). He was a physician, chemist, linguist and historian, and was adept in more than five different languages. In the early stages of his medical practice, he noticed that the regular method of treatment was causing more harm than treatment for the patient.
For this reason he could not convince himself to work as he was trained. Through numerous experiments, Doctor Hahnemann established the idea that any medicine capable of producing symptoms in healthy individuals which are similar to the totality of symptoms in sick individuals, will cure the patient. “Similia Similibus Curantur” – meaning like is cured by like. Over his sixty-year career from 1783 until he died in 1843, Hahnemann developed the homeopathy mode of medical treatment, which was totally different from common medicine. He established a kind of medical-art by the individualized treatment of a person and use of one single, simple medicine at the time to avoid the unpredictable effects of combining two or more drugs. He also developed the concept of potentization of medicines to act dynamically upon the patient’s life force (biorhythm or vital force.
