Homoeopathy is a non-invasive, therapeutic mode of treatment that uses natural substances to relieve symptoms. It derives from the Greek words homeo, meaning "similar," and pathos, meaning "suffering" (such as the pathology of a disease). Homoeopathy operates on a "like cures like" principle that has been used empirically for more than 200 years and continues to be confirmed in pharmacological research and clinical studies offering long term solutions. It aims to restore the internal order by stimulating the patient’s defense mechanism. Homoeopathy is known for its safe and gentle ways of treatment. The active ingredient in homoeopathic medicines are made from diluted extracts of plants , animals, minerals or other raw materials found in nature. Homoeopathic medicines do not mask symptoms; are not contraindicated with pre – existing conditions, and are not known to interact with other medications or supplements, making them one of safest choice of treatment. According to World Health Organization data, Homoeopathy is presently the second largest system of medicine in the world. In India over 100 million people depend on homoeopathy for health issues. Homoeopathic treatment ensures an overall sense of well-being and not just relief of specific symptoms. While homoeopathy considers all the symptoms of an illness for its treatment, it goes beyond to understand the person suffering from the illness by tracing the cause and understanding the disease.
