Elizabeth Stewart Homeopath

Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor, realised that the medicinal treatments of his day (c. 1796) were doing more harm than nice in treating patients. Two thousand years previously Hippocrates realised that there were two ways to approach the treatment of illness - the way of opposites and the way of similars. The medical treatment of Hahnemann's day, and of the present day, focuses on the way of opposites. If you have a symptom, medicine goals and to remove it, kill pain, bring on sleep, kill bacteria, alter mood etc. Often using huge doses of powerful chemicals to do so.
