Homeopathy is a natural type of medication utilized by more than 200 million individuals worldwide. It is effective to cure both acute and chronic conditions. The theory behind homeopathy is that ‘like cures like’. In other words, a substance taken in little quantity will cure symptoms it causes if taken in much larger quantities. Homeopathy aids your own body to fight the disease by stimulating the body’s healing ability.

The theory originally discovered by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in 1796 has been tested experimentally and clinically for 200 years.

The medicine is prepared from natural substances through many cycles of dilutions (dissolving it in water repeatedly). The greater the dilution, the stronger the medication.
