Every year, April 10 is observed as World Homeopathy Day to understand and treasure the importance and value of Homeopathy and its role as a traditional medicine. The World Homeopathy Day is also observed to honour the contributions of Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, who is regarded as the founder of homeopathy. Born in 1755, Dr. Hahnemann grew up in Meissen, Germany and was a degree holder in medicine from Erlangen in 1779.
The word Homeopathy is derived from Greek words ‘homeo’ and ‘pathos’, which mean similar and suffering respectively. Homeopathy is described as irregular and alternative medicine.
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a French physician and scientist is termed as the founder of homeopathy. He discovered homeopathy during his term as a physician for 15 years. Hahnemann compiled a range of suitable remedies through a process he termed as ‘Proving’. ‘Like Cures Like’ is a famous maxim that he created.
The World Homeopathy Awareness Week was created by the World Homeopathy Awareness Organization. It was celebrated from April 10th to April 16th every year to commemorate the birth of Samuel Hahnemann on April 10.
The medicines under Homeopathy are made from natural ingredients as they come from several minerals, plants and animals etc. Some of the popular ingredients that are used for homeopathy remedies are red onions, arnica and other mountain herbs, stinging nettle, crushed whole bees, poison ivy, white arsenic, etc.
