Born in Paris on April 10, 1755, Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann was an acclaimed scientist, great scholar, and linguist. He discovered the way to heal through the use of homeopathy. He died on July 2, 1843.
Homoeopathy is one of the alternative disciplines of medicine that generally works by triggering the healing responses of the patient’s own body. It believes that any sickness can be cured by inducing symptoms similar to it through doses of natural ingredients.
Today, a number of people depend on homoeopathic treatment around the world. Homeopathy or homeopathic medicine is one of the most widely used forms of alternative medicines around the world. Although the treatment is different and takes more time when compared to conventional western medicines, homeopathy medicines are quite effective for long-term cures. Also, homeopathy focuses on the entire body instead of treating only one part. It believes that all parts of a human body are connected, and hence, treating one part means treating the whole body.
This year the theme of the day in India is, “Homeopathy- Roadmap for Integrative Medicine”. A conference on the topic has also been organised by the Ministry of Ayush, to mark the special day. The event will take place in Delhi. India is also one of the largest manufacturers of homeopathic drugs in the world. The department of homoeopathy falls under the supervision of the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) Ministry.
