Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself.
Homeopathy was founded in the late 18th century in Germany and has been widely practiced throughout the world.
Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health.
In specific cases, after thorough case-taking, a medicine containing natural ingredients is given that can help activate the natural healing processes in the patient’s body, and assist in restoring their physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Some people have used homeopathy to maintain health and treat a wide range of long-term illnesses, such as allergies, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and irritable bowel syndrome. They have also used it to help with minor injuries, such as cuts and scrapes and muscle strains or sprains.
