The history of Homeopathy

A little bit of history

In 1796, Hahnemann named this new medicine after the Greek words “homoios” (“similar”) and “pathos” (“that which is suffered”). For some historians, it is found the foundation of several fundamental homeopathic principles in the work of two illustrious predecessors of Hahnemann, Hippocrates and Paracelsus.
For Samuel Hahnemann, the living being is a totality. Body and spirit are indissolubly united; life is only possible thanks to a force that allows this set to work harmoniously: the “energy” or “vital force”, which is immaterial, invisible and not measurable.
However, its field of action is not at all restricted, as it covers both acute diseases (angina, otitis, hepatitis, gastritis, sciatica, etc.) and chronic diseases (depression, asthma, bronchitis, rheumatism, female hormonal disorders, allergies, etc. .)
The first case of cure mentioned in the literature, made by its precursor, Samuel Hahnemann, was a case of depression and anxiety, in a person who had already been treated, without success, with the conventional medicine at the time.

The British Royals are very closely related to the German Royals, all of whom used homeopathy. The whole entourage had to rush back to the continent to get some homeopathic treatment. Soon after that the British Royals all became firm adherents of Hahnemann's new system.

    The Queen's father, George VI, was a very firm convert to homeopathy, as was his father before him. So it goes back a long way. Queen Victoria herself did not use homeopathy at all, though many of her relatives did. Sir John Weir, was apparently a homeopathic doctor to 6 monarchs: the King of Norway, King Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII, George VI and Queen Elizabeth II
