Homeopathy comes from the Greek word homoeo which means similar and pathos means suffering.

Homeopathy is a holistic medical science that falls under the umbrella of holistic medicine.  It is its own system. The founder of homeopathy was Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843), who was a German physician and chemist. Dr. Hahnemann expanded an ancient idea of the “Law of Similars” into a complete medical system.  Many ancient healers used this idea.  The Law of Similars is about when a natural substance can cause symptoms in a healthy person, that same substance can be used to cure similar symptoms in a person who is ill. This is also known as the principle that “like cures like.”  

Homeopathy treats illnesses and inherent constitutional problems by using the “like cures like” principle.  This is in contrast to the “Law of Sameness” (isopathy), in which is prepared from the substance that is responsible for a disease, like the use of pollens for allergies. In homeopathy, it is the matching of the symptoms, and not the disease, that one seeks.

They say that the first person to use the homeopathic principle was Moses. “The Hebrews came to Marah [Hebrew for bitterness], and they could not drink the water as it was bitter. Some complained: ‘What shall we drink?’ Moses asked G-d what to do and he told him to throw a bitter bark into the bitter water; and the water turned sweet.” Exodus, 15, 23–26.

Any substance occurring in the universe can be used as the source of a homeopathic remedy. Most remedies are made from pure natural animal, plant, or mineral substances. The substances are highly diluted and potentized to different strengths in a very specific manner.  They come in the form of granules, tablets or liquids. 

Within us exists a living intelligent energy that is responsible for healing and maintaining balance in our body.  This energy is called the vital force. The vital force holds the organisms of our body together as a harmonious whole. When the vital force is off balance, we then are ill and show symptoms. By recognizing and studying those patterns, and then matching a remedy to them, we allow the vital force and the body to sink into harmony. Each vital force is unique. It is the vital force that we want to reach with our remedies.  The remedy is what stimulates the body’s own healing mechanism. 

Homeopathy is about treating the whole person. Homeopathy is about how we view ourselves in this world. Homeopathy is about finding the image of us in nature and matching it, because like cures like.
