Question 1

How does Homeopathy work?

Accepted Answer

Many of the symptoms we experience are a result of an underlying cause or internal disharmony. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms to permanently heal the underlying cause without side effects and therefore address the pain at its source.

Fun Fact.

In 1792 Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, founded homeopathy.
Dr. Hahnemann was a big deal back in his day. So big a deal, that a statue and memorial was erected in the center of Washington, DC.
