Homeopathy is a system of healing based on the principles of like cures like, developed by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann.

For example, large doses of Ipecac given in the hospital will cause one to vomit, but given homeopathically it will inhibit this urge. It works on the emotional body, much like peeling the layers of an onion, allowing the innate vital force of the body to correct and imbalances.

Homeopathy uses minute doses of natural substances including plants, minerals or animal products to stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself.
