Homeopathy is highly scientific, logical, safe, and effective method of healing the diseases as it offers long lasting and permanent cure, treating from its roots.

Also, April 10 is the date of birth of renowned scientist Dr Samuel Hahnemann who created and developed the system called homeopathy. It is also known as similia similibus curentor or “let like be cured by like”.

The good aspect of the homeopathy treatment is that it is capable of curing a person completely and there are no side-effects from this mode of treatment.

Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a holistic system of treatment that originated in the late eighteenth century.

The name homeopathy is derived from two Greek words that mean “like disease.”

The system is based on the idea that substances that produce symptoms of sickness in healthy people will have a curative effect when given in very dilute quantities to sick people who exhibit those same symptoms.

Homeopathic remedies or homeopathic medicine are believed to stimulate the body's own healing processes.

People around the world require medicines at one time or the other. Some people use direct medicines like antibiotics and others opt for alternative therapies like homeopathy, ayurveda, etc.

Currently the alternative healthcare industry is approximately Rs 7000 crore of which Homeopathy accounts for 14% of around Rs. 630 crore. Homeopathy has also been witnessing 25% yearly growth from the past 5 years.

Homeopathy is the revolutionary, natural medical science. It is gentle and an effective system of medicine. The remedies are prepared from natural substances to precise standards and work by stimulating the body's own healing power.
