Is Homeopathy a New Medicine?
Filed Under Homeopathy |
Homeopathy is not a new type of medicine. It actually precedes allopathic medicine. Known to the Greek people in the fifth century, homeopathy was introduced in the nineteenth century by the German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, as a safe alternative form of medicine. By the turn of the twentieth century, homeopathy had gained widespread support and was practiced by doctors in more than fifty countries throughout the world. In the early 20th century, North America had no less than 22 homeopathic colleges and 100 homeopathic hospitals. The Royal Families of Europe and India have always preferred homeopathic treatment to other forms of treatment. The British Royal Family’s interests in Homeopathy continue to this day. Homeopathic medicine is now rapidly being embraced throughout the world as an increasing number of people are rediscovering its benefits.

To add to this informative blog on the ‘age’ of homeopathy: It is not widely known that homeopathy, in fact, has been practiced throughout history and its application has been recorded in the Bible, more than once. For instance, in Exodus 15, 22-26, the Hebrews came to Marah, which means “bitter” because the water was bitter and undrinkable. G-d showed Moses a tree, which he threw into the water and the water became sweet. G-d says “If you listen carefully to the voice of Havayah, your G-d, and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am Havayah, your Healer.” According to Kaballah, Homeopathy is the medicine which God uses to heal. This comment is not meant to pursuade anyone that Homeopathy is a ‘religious type of voodooism’, but to illustrate that it is a very ancient modality of healing, practiced by Pythagoras (father of geometry), Hippocrates (father of medicine),
Paracelsus, Socrates….and a long line of famed healers. Samuel Hahnemann made Homeopathy into a system which we still follow faithfully today. The book, and the movie, “The Secret”, which is based on the ‘Law of Attraction’ could also be called ‘Like attracts Like’ - a homeopathic principle which is the rave world wide.
