Modern homeopathy is a medical treatment and philosophy pioneered by Samuel Hahnemann in the early 1800s. Homeopathy works on the principle of like cures like. Symptoms similar to symptoms caused by large doses of a substance may be treated with tiny doses of that substance.
Homeopathy allows the body to heal itself by stimulating its own innate healing abilities. Homeopathic remedies are made from a variety of natural substances and have no harmful side effects, which make them safe treatments during pregnancy and childhood.
