The origins of homeopathy

The founder of homeopathy in the late eighteenth century was the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. He believed that what could cause the disease can also cure by very small doses.

Proved his theory when automedicó with quinine (the drug used to treat malaria), and developed symptoms similar to the disease.
The first postulated by Hippocrates in the V century BC whereby it can cure what similar similar, remains central to homeopathy.

Modern Homeopathy
Hahnemann was the forerunner in dilute solutions, because they acted more quickly and more effectively than in a concentrated solution.
