Homeopathy is a therapeutic system
of medicine developed by Samuel Hahnemann nearly 200 years ago in Germany.
Since that time it has spread to every country of the world. Homeopathy
is based upon the "law of similars"
- similia similibus curentur,
"let likes be cured by likes". This
means that a substance administered in large crude dosages to a healthy
individual will produce specific symptoms, but when this same material
has been reduced in size and administered in minute doses, it will stimulate
the body's reactive process to relieve these same symptoms. An example
is Ipecacuanha (Ipecac). If taken in large quantities it produces
vomiting; but taken in minute doses it cures vomiting. Ipecac, when
administered in minute Homeopathic amounts, will even stop the gagging
which frequently follows a coughing spell.
