Foundation of Homeopathy: Hahnemann’s Discoveries; History of Homeopathy: Development of Homeopathy

We will discuss what led Hahnemann to discover the action of medicines while translating medical theories for the therapeutic effect of Peruvian bark, or China officinalis. Through experiments on himself, he revealed the power of the similar medicine, the usefulness of the minimal dose, and the development of the potency of the medicine through succussion and dilution. Homeopathy provides a completely different perspective on health and disease. Understanding this novel perspective is integral to understanding how to use it.
