Homeopathy is non-toxic system of medical science that treats diseased individuals on the basis of using medicinal substances capable of producing similar changes in the health of a person as that of the diseased person.
The basic principles of Homeopathy are: -
a. A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat these symptoms when they occur in an ill person.
b. Potentising the homeopathic medicine increases it collative powers and avoids unwanted side-effects.
c. Homeopathy treats the whole person and not just the illness. The totality of the symptoms is considered including mental, emotional, and physical aspects.
d. Like cures like: Substances that produce symptoms when given in large doses can clear up those symptoms when the substances are given in micro-doses.

f. A minimum of doses is given: Only a small stimulus is needed to stimulate your innate healing powers.
