Homeopathy is a branch of medicine invented by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1794. His work was continued further by many followers. Few of the major contributors were Dr. J. T. Kent, Dr. Boenninghausen etc.

Homeopathic treatment is based on the principle of The Law of Similars. It can be seen as an advanced form of vaccination. It works by administering a medicine which is capable of producing the similar symptoms to stimulate patient's own immune system to treat the disease.
