The name homeopathy is taken from two Greek words meaning “similar suffering” or “like cures like”.
This natural principal has been known for thousands of years and was developed over 200 years ago by a German physician, Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843).

The principal of “like cures like” refers to the philosophy that a substance which would normally create symptoms of disease in a healthy person, also has the potential to cure those symptoms in a sick person.
Homeopathy work by stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself. A homeopath sees symptoms as a sign that there is an imbalance in the body and seeks to treat the underlying cause rather than suppressing the symptoms.
