Classical homeopathy, founded by Samuel Hahnemann in the late 18th century, is a holistic healing system based on the principle of “like cures like.” This philosophy asserts that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in a highly diluted form to treat similar symptoms in an unwell individual. Unlike conventional medicine, classical homeopathy emphasizes individualized treatment, considering not just physical symptoms but also the mental and emotional aspects of a person.

In a classical homeopathic consultation, a practitioner conducts a thorough examination of the patient’s physical, mental, and emotional state. The goal is to identify the unique set of symptoms that characterizes the individual’s condition, leading to the selection of a specifically tailored homeopathic remedy. These remedies are typically derived from plants, minerals, or animal substances and are prepared through a meticulous process of potentization to enhance their healing properties while minimizing toxicity.
