HOMEOPATHY IS THE PHILOSOPHY, ART, AND SCIENCE OF 'HEALING BY SIMILARS'.

The fundamental law on which Homeopathy stands is called "The Law of Nature" which remains true under every application.  Any substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person will alleviate similar symptoms when given in Homeopathic doses to a sick person. It applies whether the symptoms are physical, emotional or mental changes from the usual healthy self - if you have a set of symptoms indicating that you are not well, the Homoeopath uses this 'symptoms picture' to find your remedy.  They search for the substance which is known to have caused similar suffering in others, and then use this substance to help you.
