Homeopathic medicine was formerly developed in the 1800's but the concept
of like curing like has been used by the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Incas, Aztecs
and Native Americans for much longer. It was also written about by Hippocrates.
The premise of the law of similars is that the body can balance and heal itself when
presented with a highly diluted and minute substance, that in toxic doses would create the same
or similar symptoms in the body as you're trying heal. An example might be using Alium Cepa (made from onions)
to help symptoms of watery eyes. Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted and work on a vibrational level. Arsenicum, for instance
is made from arsenic, a poison. BUT there are no traces of the arsenic left in the remedy. It is shaken and diluted until the
original material is gone. Due to this, homeopathics are safe for children and even pregnant moms!
According to the World Health Organization, homeopathy is second on the list of most widely used
treatments (btw allopathic medicine comes in 4th). Medical doctors throughout the world prescribe homeopathic
remedies to treat their patients ailments and illnesses.
