Homeopathy
Homeopathy is one of the most established
and medically respected non-orthodox forms of treatment for physical,
mental and emotional conditions. It is practised in many locations around
the world.
History of Homeopathy:
Homeopathy emerged towards the end of the 18th century, initially due
to the work of German medical doctor, Samuel Christian Friedrich Hahnemann,
of Meissen, Saxony (1755 - 1843).
Now known as the 'Father of Homeopathy', Samuel Hahnemann believed that
the highest purpose of medicine was "to restore health rapidly; gently;
permanently; to remove and destroy the whole disease in the shortest,
surest, least harmful way". When he qualified as a Medical Doctor
in 1779, Hahnemann quickly formed the opinion that blood-letting, a common
medical practice at that time, weakened the body's powers of recovery
and actually caused bodily harm. Consequently, he abandoned medical practice
and used his language skills (he had mastered 8 languages) to translate
Scott Cullen's edition of 'Materia Medica.'
While undertaking this task he also developed some ideas that lead, eventually,
to his discovery of the principles of homeopathy.
Following Hahnemann's early work, homeopathy became populart across Europe
as into parts of Russia, in the United Kingdom, and also became established
in the United States in in other parts of the World.

What does a Homeopathic Consultation
/ Treatment involve?
:
The form and duration of consultations may vary according to the personal
style of the individual practitioner. However, most homeopathic consultations
tend to be quite lengthy due to the detailed questions that the practitioner
may need to ask in order to select the most appropriate remedies for the
individual client. This selection is based on a wide variety of factors,
including the person's personality and emotions, as well as his/her physiological
condition(s).
