Homeopathy is a holistic modality based on the Law of Similars. Simply put, the same symptoms that are caused by a particular substance can be cured if the substance is administered in very small amounts. A German MD discovered this phenomenon when he discovered that cinchona bark, which contains quinine, causes symptoms similar to malaria. Cinchona is also a cure for malaria. This is how Hahnemann stumbled onto the use of medicines homeopathically. Translated, homeopathy is similar suffering.
A homeopathic evaluation involves analyzing the mental and physical symptoms that a patient is experiencing and finding the right remedy and dose to move the patient towards a cure. With all intregrative modalities, homeopathy may be combined with other holistic and conventional uses.
