August's Therapy Spotlight:
HOMEOPATHY

Did you know?

+ Homeopathy is derived from the Greek words; hómoios meaning like and pathos meaning suffering.

+ The therapy was founded by German Physician Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843).

+ The foundation of Homeopathy is the belief that a substance, which has the ability of causing symptoms in a healthy person, can be utilized to treat a sick person that is displaying the same symptoms.

+ The remedies used within homeopathy are predominantly animal, mineral or plant derivatives.
