Article explains the difference between homeopathy and holistic medicine. I frequently find the word holistic confused with homeopathy. Homeopathy is one holistic healing system. Homeopathy is not vitamin therapy or herbs. Samuel Hahnemann, M.D., Began the science of homeopathy almost 200 years ago. He realized that drugs and surgery were unable to bring about true healing for anything but traumatic injuries. He saw that drugs removed symptoms temporarily. When the drugs were discontinued, the symptoms usually returned, often stronger than before. Through careful and extensive experimentation, Dr. Hahnemann documented the principle of homeopathy, the law of similars, or like cures like.
