Homoeopathy was founded over 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor, with his famous concept “Similia Similibus Curenter” which means “let likes cure likes”. According to Dr. Hahnemann, substances which are capable of producing symptoms in a healthy human being, are capable of curing the same symptoms, when given in micro quantities. This marked the formal beginning of homoeopathy in 1796.
