Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the principle of similars. The name is composed of the two Greek words homoion (similar) and pathos (suffering) and was created by the discoverer of scientific homeopathy, the physician, pharmacist and chemist Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (born 1755 in Meissen, died 1843 in Paris).

Samuel Hahnemann and the development of homeopathy

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann was a dedicated physician who spent many years engaged in research and finally succeeded in developing an original healing process, founded on elementary rules. The principles on which the method in its present form is based have remained unchanged for the past 200 years.
