Homeopathy is an original method of treatment that is effective in treating most disorders of the
body. This method is based on a pharmacological law called the "Law of Similars". This "law" was
presented to the world in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. He described it in this
manner:
"Any substance that produces specific toxic symptoms in a healthy person when given in
its full strength form, will cure a sick person with those same symptoms when given in a
very diluted, minute form."
Examples:
- A full strength dose of Ipecac will cause vomiting.
- In a very diluted dose, it becomes a remedy to control nausea and vomiting.
- Coffee before bed will generally cause a sleepless night.
- In an infinitesimal dose, it is used to treat insomnia.
- A large dose of sodium sulfate will characteristically provoke diarrhea.
- An infinitesimal or homeopathic dose can cure that same type of diarrhea.
