What is Homeopathy?
HOMEOPATHY is medicine developed by Samuel Hahnemann towards the end of the 18th century, based on the understanding that healing comes from within, from the body's innate self-healing forces. These forces are to be stimulated by certain substances that would actually cause respective disease if given in a high doses; intending to heal an illness with its equal substance.

Homeopathy is an alternative treatment of disease involving the consumption of natural materials that simulate the symptoms of the disease. These materials are first diluted in pure water to such an extent that there are generally no molecules of the original material left.

Homeopathic remedies are made from poisonous and non-poisonous plants (i.e. herbal agents), animal kingdom, minerals, venoms (including snake venoms) and metals.  Since more than half of homeopathic remedies derive from plants (herbs), homeopathy and herbology are tightly connected.
