The wonder of homeopathic medicine is in its safety, the incredibly small amount of medicine needed, and the rapidity of healing.

The word Homeopathy was first coined by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of modern homeopathy. Homeopathy has distinct differences from conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is also called allopathic medicine or use of opposing substances to suppress symptoms in the body. Homeopathy though works with the body's natural defenses. The amount of a homeopathic medicine needed is incredibly small, yet enables the body to rebalance in a short amount of time.
