About Homeopathy: Homeopathy was first developed in Europe in the eighteenth century by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and spread throughout Europe and America. Homeopathy is a system of natural healing that stimulates the body's natural forces of recovery. Homeopathic remedies are thought to stimulate a healing process in the body, leading to the correction of the illness and assisting the person in regaining health. The word homeopathy itself is derived from the Greek word 'Homoios' meaning 'like'. Homeopathy is the medical practice of treating like with like. In homeopathy an illness is treated with a substance, which in large does would produce the very symptoms of the illness in a healthy person. The minute dosage in homeopathy stimulates a curative response when one is ill.
