Introduction to Homeopathy
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed homeopathy approximately 200 years ago. It is based on the theory of similars and the use of infinitesimal doses. The idea is that a substance that can cause certain symptoms will also cure those symptoms, when administered in an extremely diluted form.
Pharmacopoeias specify the ingredients and detailed procedures for preparation of homeopathic medicines. The most widely accepted are the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS), La Pharmacopée française (PhF) of France and the Homöopathische Arzneibuch (HAB) of Germany. The pharmacopoeias are living documents that are maintained by a committee of homeopathic experts in each country to reflect the most up-to-date research. |
