What is The History of Homeopathy?
Homeopathy began in eighteenth-century Germany, with Samuel Hahnemann, a physician and scholar whose practice included the aristocracy and royalty.
Disappointed in the results of the medicine that he and his colleagues were then using, Hahnemann left his prominent practice. He went on to discover a profound natural law, the Law of Similars, which became the foundation for homeopathy.
The Law of Similars asserts that any substance that can cause symptoms when given to a healthy person can help to heal those who are experiencing similar symptoms when given in a very minute amount.

When did homeopathy first come to America?
Did you know that homeopathy first came to America in the 1800s? Here’s the story of the Box and the Book…
In 1835, one of America’s first and very best homeopaths, Constantine Hering, MD, published a book called the Homeopathic Domestic Physician. The book was intended to be used by families without ready access to physicians—often those traveling west to start their lives anew. And it was very popular.
There are words inscribed in The Homoeopathic Domestic Physician that read, “The greatest triumph of a science is when it becomes the common property of the people and thus contributes to the common weal.”
Interestingly, the book was often sold with a homeopathic remedy kit, which was one of the first such kits ever made available to the general public. In many pioneer homes, the combination of the two was famously known as the Box and the Book. Frontier families swore by them.
It is those very early kits that laid the foundation for the kits we all use today. (Source)
Why People Choose Homeopathy
People are choosing to explore other ways to care for themselves. Western medicine has become limited to just another prescription and long-term care. Those who choose homeopathy as a way to treat imbalances realize after a period of time on the medicine, they no longer need it and can be free of symptoms that used to cause limitations.
Homeopathy is safe for everyone, from babies to the elderly, no matter the level of health.
Homeopathy has a reputation for being preferred by many, including Mother Teresa and Reba McEntire. Mark Twain, Charles Darwin, and the Royal Family, who have a personal homeopath on staff and have been known to travel with their trusted remedies. In India, it is used in some places instead of mainstream medicine because it is inexpensive, easy to distribute, and efficient.

Studies
- A randomized, double-blind trial comparing homeopathy to Prozac (Fluoxetine) in the treatment of moderate to severe depression took place at a state medical school in Brazil. It found homeopathic treatment comparable to Prozac on all measured parameters (actually, homeopathic treatment was superior on all parameters, though not in a degree rising to “statistical significance”). Additionally, “a higher percentage of patients treated with Fluoxetine reported troublesome side effects.” (Source)
- Effect of homeopathy on chronic tension-type headache: a pragmatic, randomized controlled single blind trial. J Headache Pain. 2013; 14(Suppl 1): P56. Sharma et al. Headache frequency and intensity was lower in the homeopathy group than in controls. Compared with usual care, patients randomized to homeopathy used 35% less medication (P = 0.001) and had 45% fewer visits to general practitioners (P = 0.0001)
