Alternative & Integrative Medicine

Homeopathy

This was created by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Homeopathy is based on the idea that "like cures like."  Homeopathy is also an alternative medicine which is used in cure and prevention of many diseases. That is, if a substance causes a symptom in a healthy person, giving the person a very small amount of the similar substance may cure the illness.

Homeopathy is also useful in treatment of major illness such as cancer, heart diseases, and major infections and also in case of emergencies. Homeopathy is used to address the individual’s experience on diseases and to prevent individuals in falling ill. Homeopathic remedies are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, FDA does not evaluate the remedies for safety or effectiveness.
