Homoeopathy is a system of alternative medicine that originated in the late 18th century and is based on the principle of "like cures like". Practitioners believe that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in highly diluted form to treat similar symptoms in someone who is unwell.
The remedies used in homoeopathy are often derived from plants, minerals, or animal sources and are prepared through a process of serial dilution and succussion. Homeopathic treatments are selected based on the individual's unique symptoms and constitution, aiming to stimulate the body's innate healing abilities. Despite ongoing debates about its efficacy, many people around the world continue to use homoeopathy as a complementary or alternative approach to healthcare, drawn to its holistic principles and personalized treatment options.
