Frequently Asked Questions

In the early 19th century, German physician Samuel Hahnemann discovered homeopathy, establishing it as an alternative system of medicine.
He reintroduced the ancient ideas of Hippocrates and Paracelsus about “like cures like” in an innovative and practical way, becoming the first to successfully experiment with and apply this principle.

“Like Cures Like” Explained:
This concept means that a substance causing specific symptoms in a healthy person can treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
For example, the homeopathic medicine Apis Mellifica is prepared from honeybees. A honeybee sting causes burning, stinging pain, and swelling (edema). Similarly, Apis Mellifica relieves these same symptoms in a sick person, whether caused by a bee sting or conditions like kidney disease.

The healing potential of a homeopathic medicine is explored through a unique process called proving.

• In provings, minute doses of a substance are used, often so diluted that no material trace of the original substance remains. This ensures the process is entirely safe and free from side effects.
• Testing is conducted exclusively on healthy individuals to observe how the diluted substance affects them.
• The test group includes a diverse range of healthy participants from different age groups and genders.
• Any symptoms generated during proving are temporary and help uncover the medicine’s therapeutic potential.
• All physical, emotional, and mental symptoms are carefully documented.

Once the proving process is complete, the same medicine is used to treat patients experiencing similar symptoms. This aligns with the homeopathic principle of “like cures like,” allowing for gentle, targeted, and holistic healing.

Homeopathy takes a holistic approach, addressing a person’s mental, emotional, and physical symptoms.

• Homeopathic remedies stimulate the immune system to promote natural healing.
• These medicines are highly diluted, making them gentle, safe, and typically free of significant side effects.
