Homeopathy is a system of medicine founded in 1796 by German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principles of “like cures like.” Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health. Homeopathy uses microdoses of natural substances derived from mineral, botanical and biological sources to relieve symptoms. Regulated as drugs by the FDA since 1938, homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years and has built a remarkable safety record.nswer to this item.

Both acute and chronic diseases are amenable to treatment with homeopathy.

From the homeopathic perspective, acute diseases are diseases that are caused by external influences, such as injuries, poisonings, infectious diseases, etc. The symptoms that arose in these cases were considered to have an adaptive advantage in that they often resulted in neutralization or elimination of the noxious influence.

Samuel Hahnemann later proposed that chronic diseases were also caused by the invasion of an external force, or 'miasm'. 

To Hahnemann, symptoms that arose in response to this invasion represented the enduring action of this external force on the body. Some modern practitioners consider chronic disease symptoms as merely an initially constructive response to disease that has become enfeebled and ineffective over time. Chronic diseases from the homeopathic perspective include most common disease syndromes such as allergies, arthritis, skin problems, digestive disturbances, respiratory problems, musculoskeletal problems, organ disease, and more.

Determined to find a better solution, Hahnemann discovered that if a substance in large doses causes a symptom in a healthy person, giving the person a very small amount of the same substance may cure the illness. Basically, homeopathy works by stimulating the body’s own natural healing capacity. The remedy triggers the body’s own healing forces.

Of course, this is a very simplified explanation – the theory and philosophy of homeopathy is far more complex. But, when it comes to homeopathy for pets, that’s really what you need to know to start.

Remedies are derived from substances found in any of the three: animal, vegetable, and mineral.

By carefully observing patients and recording their symptoms and subsequent response to treatments, homeopaths were able to catalogue and cross-reference the remedies with the symptoms they could treat. Additional information was also derived from reports of toxic reactions to various drugs and natural substances. Modern homeopathic practitioners use these reference works, known as repertories, as a basis for determining the correct treatment for an individual case.d an answer to this item.

Homeopathy has been credited with saving countless lives during epidemics of dysentery, cholera and typhoid fever in the age before antimicrobials (antibiotics). The success of the treatment of chronic conditions will vary according to the age of the patient, prior treatment history, diagnosis, and the patient's vitality.

As with all other forms of medicine, the earlier in the course of disease that homeopathy is started, the better the response tends to be.

Patients considered more difficult to treat /take longer time and need more medicines include cases that have been previously treated with multiple potent drugs, patients that have undergone long-term therapy with corticosteroids and other immune suppressants; and diseases that can be characterized as a very deeply entrenched form of pathology such as cancer( Homeopathy can help in some cases by helping body recover , improving immune system  and so on) .
