About this ebook

Homeopathy or homoeopathy is a pseudoscientific system of alternative medicine. It was created by Samuel Hahnemann. Its practitioners, called homeopaths, believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people; this doctrine is called "similia similibus curentur," or "like cures like". The term "homeopathy" was coined by Hahnemann which comes from the Greek: hómoios, "like" and páthos, "suffering". Hahnemann gathered and published a complete overview of his new medical system in his book, The Organon of the Healing Art, whose 6th edition, known as Organon of Medicine, is still relevant today. Homeopathic healing is considered controversial and it received a lot of critique over the years, but it still survived and is practiced today._x000D_ Table of Contents:_x000D_ Organon of Medicine by Samuel Hahnemann_x000D_ Of the Homoeopathic Doctrines by J.

About the author

Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) was a German physician who is best known as the founder of homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine based on the principle that 'like cures like'. Hahnemann became disillusioned with the medical practices of his time, which often did more harm than good, prompting him to seek a gentler form of treatment. His extensive research and clinical experiments led him to develop the principles of homeopathy, which he first articulated in his seminal work, 'The Organon of the Healing Art', published in 1810. His other notable contribution to the field is 'The Doctrine of Homeopathy – Premium Collection', which encapsulated Hahnemann's mature thoughts on the topic and serves as a foundational text for practitioners. Hahnemann's literary style is characterized by meticulousness and a methodical approach to the subject matter, underpinning his scholarly pursuit of a rational and humane form of medicine. His work has been both celebrated and controversial but has left an indelible mark on the field of medicine, inspiring a rich tradition of homeopathic practice that continues to this day. Hahnemann's legacy is not only in his writings but also in the global institution of homeopathy, which adheres to the principles he established over two centuries ago.
