What is Homoeopathy?

A system of medicine that turns to the body's inherent healing mechanism to treat disease, homoeopathy was created by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, in the early 1700s. It works on the principle that if you administer a small amount of substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person, you can also treat such symptoms in a sick person.
