As explained by Dr naisargi

Homoeopathy is a system of medicines discovered by German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

It is based on law of ‘similia similibus curantur’. Which means like cures like. The word Homoeopathy is a greek derivation where ‘Homoeos’ means similar and ‘pathos’ means suffering. So homoeopathy may be defined as the therapeutic method of symptoms-similarity.

Hahnemann got discontented and found faults with the therapeutic procedures prevalent during his time. He criticised these practices. He said that the cause of the disease is not something material that can be drawn out of his way. The cause is invisible and dynamic and it should be treated in a dynamic and gentle fashion. 

The administration of antipathic medicines brings temporary relief to solitary symptoms and is always followed by a worsening of disease. There will be compound diseases with the bad effects of these medicines.

​

He states that homoeopathy is the only true system of medicines, which is capable of curing patients effectively and permanently without increasing their suffering of the patient. He mentions that diseases are dynamic in origin and need medicines which are dynamic in action. 

These medicines should be well proved on healthy human beings to understand their effects before giving them to patients. The administration of the medicines should always follow the principle of similia. Homoeopathy, therefore, avoids anything that is even the slightest bit debilitating. Homoeopathy avoids as much as possible every arousal of pain because pain also robs vitality.
