Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine dating back to the time of Hippocrates, but its present form and popularity is attributed to German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843).  He believed that symptoms and signs of illness are attempts of the body to heal itself.  The symptoms should not be repressed but rather, a homeopathic practitioner would find a substance that creates the same symptoms as the disease and then dilute it sufficiently to assist the body in healing.    This is known as the Law of Similars, or “like cures like.”  It is a complex healing modality as practitioners need to know the totality of symptoms in order to find a single remedy that covers all the symptoms of a particular illness.   Traditional homeopathic practitioners believe the more diluted the remedy, the more powerful it is, as the potion consists of the pure essence of energy of the homeopathic compound.   Homeopathic remedies can be prepared in tinctures, powders, tablets or creams and are made from animal, vegetable and mineral sources.  No synthetic products are used.   More
