Simple Ways To Homoeopathy And Modern Medicine
Homoeopathy
Introduction
Homoeopathy is a system of medicine introduced by a German physician Dr
Samuel Hahnemann. He was basically an allopathic doctor who has left the
practice because of side effects and temporary relief of symptoms of allopathy.
For his bread and butter he started translating the medical books to different
languages. While he was translating cullen's materia medica he came across a
herbal medicine called cinchona. It was written that cinchona can cure malaria
and it can also produce symptoms similar to malaria on healthy individuals. This
point clicked Hahnemann's brain and he prepared an extract of cinchona bark
and taken some himself. To his surprise he developed some symptoms of malaria like
chills and aching. He started doing the same experiment on different individuals
and the result was the same.
By this experiment Hahnemann came to know that any drug which can produce a
set of symptoms on a healthy human being can be used to cure the similar
symptoms in a diseased person. He gave cinchona to various malaria patients
and the result was wonderful and a system called homoeopathy originated. The
word homoeo means similar, pathy means suffering. The basic principle of
homoeopathy is 'similia similibus curantur' means like cures cure. Hahnemann
prepared some other drugs using alcohol as a vehicle and started experimenting
on different age groups and noted down the symptoms produced in them. He
proved nearly 30 drugs, and the symptoms produced were noted down
systematically. The symptoms collected by drug proving were categorized in the
order in a book form named materia medica pura.
