Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that is very unique and very deep acting. It is a therapy based on the practice of treating similar with similar. HOMEOPATHY is derived from the Greek word HOMOIOS, meaning like or similar and pathy which means suffering; so similar suffering.
A simple example of this principle can be seen with the common onion. Slicing an onion can cause symptoms of burning and watering eyes, as well as sneezing and runny nose. Many hay-fever sufferers have found dramatic relief from their burning, watery eyes, sneezing and runny nose after taking the homeopathic remedy Allium Cepa (the remedy made from the red onion). Thus the substance that can cause symptoms can, as a remedy, also reverse them.
