Homeopathy Treatment Remedies and Alternatives The goal of homeopathy treatment is to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself by giving very small doses of highly diluted substances that in larger doses would produce illness or symptoms, an approach referred to as "like cures like". This therapeutic method was developed by German physician Samuel Christian Hahnemann at the end of the 18th century, and has been adopted world wide as an alternative way in which to heal many disorders. Classical homeopathy remedies are guided by two principles; one is the principle of similars in which it is believed like cures like and an illness can be healed by a substance that produces similar symptoms in people that are healthy. The second principle which is the law of minimum dose or principle of dilutions, states that the lower the dose of the medication, the more effective it will be. In most classical homeopathy remedies they are so diluted that molecules of the healing substance are no longer present.
